On April 25, 2011, the NYISO issued their 2011 Power Trends report which noted that the electric system has become more reliable but that several emerging challenges may compromise that including the ability to develop adequate replacement generation to serve southeastern New York in the event of the retirement of the nuclear power units at Indian Point. The report stated, “These resources would be needed to prevent violation of mandatory resource adequacy reliability standards and maintain the supply of power and transmission voltage support needed to move electricity over power lines.”
Additionally, the NYISO also released a chart showcasing the top 50 power generators in all of NYS in 2010 and IPEC is #1.
