BESS Jobs in ISO-NE — New England

ISO New England manages the bulk electric power system for the six New England states — Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont. The region faces a unique grid challenge: retiring aging natural gas and nuclear generation while integrating massive offshore wind resources, making battery storage a critical component of New England's clean energy future.

Massachusetts has been one of the most aggressive states in the country on storage policy, with binding procurement targets and SMART program incentives that have driven C&I and community storage deployment. Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Maine have followed with their own storage programs. The combination of state policy support and ISO-NE's Forward Capacity Market provides strong revenue visibility for storage developers.

ISO-NE's grid is characterized by winter peak demand and significant fuel security challenges — the famous 'ISO-NE fuel security' problem makes the case for battery storage particularly compelling. Long-duration storage assets capable of providing multi-day energy security are a growing area of focus.
