Power Sources
The electricity you consume comes from the New England power grid, which receives power from a variety of power plants and transmits the power throughout the region as needed to meet the requirements of all customers in New England. When you choose a power supplier, that supplier is responsible for generating and/or purchasing power that is added to the power grid in an amount equivalent to your electricity use. “Known Resources” include resources that are owned by, or under contract to, the supplier.“Residual Power ” represents power purchased in the regional electricity market.

Air Emissions
Emissions for each of the following pollutants are presented as a percent of
the region’s average emission rate. System average emission rates are based on data from the year 2007 and were prepared for New England Power Pool.

(NEPOOL) by ISO New England.
NEPOOL emissions data for CO2 is 980
lbs/MWh; for NOx is 1.19 lbs/MWh; for
SO2 is 2.81 lbs/MWh.
New unit emissions data for CO2 is 760
lbs/MWh; for NOx is 0.06 lbs/MWh; for
SO2 is 0.08 lbs/MWh.

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is released when fossil fuels (e.g., coal, oil and natural gas) are burned. Carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, is a major contributor to global warming.

Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) form when fossil fuels and biomass are burned at high temperatures. They contribute to acid rain and ground-level ozone (or smog), and may cause respiratory illness in children with frequent high level exposure. NOx also contribute to oxygen deprivation of lakes and coastal waters which is destructive to fish and other animal life.

Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) is formed when fuels containing sulfur are burned, primarily coal and oil. Major health eects associated with SO2 include asthma, respiratory illness and aggravation of existing cardiovascular disease. SO2 combines with water and oxygen in the atmosphere to form acid rain, which raises the acid level of lakes and streams, and accelerates the decay of buildings and
monuments.
