Supply vs demand
EIA-860M generator inventory · projects pipeline
181 MW of new generation came online in Connecticut over the last 18 months; another 528 MW is in the EIA-860M pipeline (under construction or filed); 6 MW is on the books to retire over the next 36. Largest plant in the supply pipeline: Elevate Middletown (Middlesex County) — 275 MW of battery storage, first online 2027-12. On the way out: Hartford Hospital Cogeneration — 6 MW of natural gas, retiring 2027-12.
Two bars, one scale. Demand is sorted by certainty — under construction first, then permitted, then proposed. The dashed rule marks where the supply pipeline runs out; everything to the right of it is demand on file with no supply filed against it.
