2023 Report of the Consumer Liaison Group released

ISO New England and the Consumer Liaison Group (CLG) Coordinating Committee have issued the 2023 Report of the Consumer Liaison Group. The annual report features summaries of the 2023 CLG meetings, updates on ISO New England activities and initiatives, and an outline of the CLG Coordinating Committee’s priorities for 2024. Additionally, the report provides an analysis of retail electricity rates in the six New England states, and current and historical data on the region’s wholesale electricity costs.

The 2023 report is the 14th annual report of the CLG, which was created in 2009 to facilitate the consideration of consumer interests in determining needs and solutions for the regional power grid. CLG meetings are open to the public and do not require a registration fee. Participants generally include consumers and consumer representatives (including state consumer and ratepayer advocates), state business and industry associations, chambers of commerce, individual businesses, trade groups, nonprofit organizations, and other electricity users. State regulators, including those who are New England Power Pool members, are regular, active participants in CLG discussions.

The CLG meets quarterly, with each meeting addressing a regional electricity and consumer issue identified by the CLG Coordinating Committee. More than 700 total participants attended a CLG meeting in-person or virtually in 2023.
