This report describes the operation and current status of the Massachusetts renewable energy market and attempts to analyze three major projects that will have a distinct impact on the market. Cape Wind, the Maine Green Line and the Northeast Energy Link would all provide significant renewable energy to the market with a positive economic impact and minimal environmental damage. However, Cape Wind is no longer in feasible due to contract canelations and financial set-backs.
