Connecticut – IEEE Power & Energy Society Tour – ISO-NE Control Center

ISO New England is the independent, not-for-profit company authorized by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to oversee the day-to-day operation of New England’s electric power generation and transmission system, administer the region’s competitive wholesale electricity markets, and manage comprehensive regional power system planning.  The tour will include an overview of ISO New England and its three critical roles, as well as an update on regional energy issues. Attendees will also have an opportunity to view the ISO’s state-of-the-art backup control center with the capabilities to monitor, dispatch, and direct the flow of electricity across the power grid 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Agenda:

What’s required: ISO New England is a secure facility. Attendees must provide their name, affiliation, and email address in advance.  All visitors must be approved and added to the visitor list prior to their arrival.  We cannot accommodate visitors who arrive unannounced. 

Entering the Premises: When you arrive, you will be required to provide photo identification to the Duty Officer at the gate before entering the premises.  You may not enter the facility without photo identification.  I suggest arriving 5 – 10 minutes early to allow time for the visitor badging process.

Visitor Badging Process: When you enter the lobby of the facility, we will sign you in and create a visitor badge for you.  Your visitor badge must be worn and clearly visible at all times, and you must be escorted by me or my delegate, except in designated open areas and restrooms.  At the end of your visit, you must be escorted back to the lobby to check out and return your visitor badge before leaving the facility.
