In a recent discussion, San Evans Brown, the Executive Director of Clean Energy New Hampshire, highlighted a projected 11% increase in electricity demand across New England. This significant rise in demand poses challenges and opportunities for the region's energy landscape.

As the population grows and more households adopt electric vehicles and energy-intensive technologies, the strain on existing electricity infrastructure is expected to intensify. Brown emphasized the importance of transitioning to renewable energy sources to meet this increasing demand sustainably.

The conversation also touched on the need for enhanced energy efficiency measures and innovative solutions to ensure that the electricity supply can keep pace with the rising demand. Investments in grid modernization and energy storage technologies will be crucial in addressing these challenges while minimizing environmental impacts.

As New England navigates this shift, the focus will remain on balancing energy needs with sustainability goals, ensuring a reliable and clean energy future for the region.
