HOLYOKE, Mass. (AP) The operator of New England’s power grid expects to have sufficient supplies to meet New England’s electric needs this winter.

Weather conditions drive the need for electric power, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has projected a 40% likelihood for warmer-than-normal weather this winter.
