We've been net exporters for quite awhile now.
NH... and NE... have issues.
The negative outcome of the Northern Pass threw cold water on the build out and upgrade of new transmission and pipelines.
Small generators are able to squeeze into the grid without the upgrades... basically due to the amount of generation that is sited; but that places more emphasis on things like solar.
The batteries, and maybe someday hydrogen, allow narrowing of the gap from base to peak.
