National Grid Northeast 80x50 Pathway: THE PATHWAY TO 2030
The Northeast has taken concrete steps to move toward a clean energy future, including the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, achievement of renewable portfolio standards (RPS) in all states, and nation-leading investments in energy efficiency. But much more will be required. Given the pace of emissions reduction required, strategic planning and a focus on cost-effectiveness have never been more critical.
The Pathway achieves the 40% by 2030 target (see Figure 2) by prioritizing three mutually-reinforcing transitions:
1. Accelerate decarbonization of the electric sector.
2. Transform the light-duty transportation sector through electrification.
3. Transform the heat sector through energy efficiency, electrification, and oil-to-gas conversion
