According to the weatherman New England has had 11 days in a row of overcast, meaning minimal solar power, and little wind. Our electric generation has necessarily been fossil fuel and nuclear. Public and governmental pressure has changed the fuel from coal to natural gas which must all come through barely adequate pipelines. Efforts to increase pipeline capacity or import Canadian hydroelectric power have been stifled by public opposition. https://www.forestsociety.org/advocacy-issue/northern-pass https://www.nhpr.org/climate-change/2020-07-31/liberty-utilities-drops-plans-for-major-gas-pipeline-in-n-h https://www.iso-ne.com/about/what-we-do/in-depth/natural-gas-infrastructure-constraints While solar and wind generation are increasing here they are useless in the current weather pattern.
