MIT study highlights benefits of a two-way exchange of electricity between the U.S. Northeast and Quebec as the region decarbonizes
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. : States in the Northeastern U.S. can transition to low-carbon electricity at a lower cost by using hydropower reservoirs in Quebec for energy storage, says a new MIT study. Countering conventional wisdom, the study argues that Quebec’s hydropower reservoirs are best seen by Northeastern states as a virtual energy storage resource rather than a continuous source of energy. In a low-carbon future, the value of Quebec hydropower is maximized when used to balance and store renew...
