New England is a leader within the U.S. in climate and energy policy. States in the region have partly ambitious emission reduction targets, promote renewable energies and are pioneers in US energy efficiency policy.
The current focus in New England's energy policy is on improving security of supply and securing favorable energy prices, which will be achieved in part by diversifying the energy supply with renewable energy and through efficiency measures.
This study, co-authored by Raffaele Piria, provides an overview of the New England region, the current focus of energy and climate policy debates, key energy policy institutions, and the common electricity market. The study was produced to accompany the New England-Germany Energy Transition Forum in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on May 16, 2019.
