ISO-NE (New England)
The gas in the queue file is all built or withdrawn. Nothing new is coming.
~0GW
Signed, near-term gas
15GW
Existing gas
~0GW
Planned gas
Signed, near-term gas = merchant projects with a signed interconnection agreement and requested operation by 2028, from the ISO's own queue, with ownership checked project by project where the queue does not name developers. Existing and planned from EIA-860M, August 2026.
Updated October 2026 from ISO-NE's interconnection queue of September 30, 2026. Existing and planned gas are from EIA-860M, August 2026.
ISO-NE's queue file lists about 6.3 GW of gas across 121 projects. Every one is already built or withdrawn, with online dates from 1999 to 2026, and none is active. Filter to gas that is signed and still to be built by 2028 and the figure is zero.
New England is a well-known gas-constrained market, short on pipeline capacity into the region, and it is not adding new gas generation. For firm power the region relies on the existing fleet of about 15 GW, imports, storage and other reliability resources, not new thermal build. Offshore wind can add substantial energy, but it does not by itself replace firm capacity.
For a data center, ISO-NE is a small, expensive, supply-constrained market that does not offer a new firm-gas path. It belongs in the same category as CAISO and NYISO: analyze it on the demand and transmission side.
