ISO New England Trims 10-Year Forecast Based On Electrification Outlook By Robert Walton of UtilityDive Electricity consumption in New England will grow about 9% over the next decade, driven by electrification of buildings and vehicles, the region’s independent system operator said in an annual report published Friday. While significant, the rise in consumption is lower than its forecast in the two previous reports, reflecting changes in “government policy,” ISO New England said. The “ 2026-2035 Forecast Report of Capacity, Energy, Loads, and Transmission ,” or CELT report, estimates annual consumption will rise from 116,679 GWh this year to 127,660 GWh in 2035, an increase of about 0.9% annually. In 2024, the ISO said it anticipated a 17% rise in annual energy use by 2033 . In 2025, it reduced its 10-year outlook to an 11% rise by 2034. The energy forecast “reflects more conservative assumptions around future adoption of electric vehicles and heat pumps in light of government policy changes ,” the ISO said in a blog post. New England’s net annual energy use has trended downward since 2005, “mainly due to more efficient heating and cooling systems, appliances, and lighting,” as well as growth in behind-the-meter solar, the grid operator said. Now, it predicts “that trend will reverse over the next decade .” “Steady growth in net annual energy use is expected as state policy goals for carbon emissions reductions continue to incentivize electrification of heating systems and transportation in the region,” the ISO said. Notably, the ISO said sustained load growth means it will soon be a dual-peaking system. While New England has typically seen electricity demand peak during the hot summer months, the addition of electric heating load means that by 2035, the ISO expects winter and summer peaks to be roughly the same, around 26.5 GW. ISO New England’s all-time peak of 28.1 GW was set in summer 2006. The grid operator anticipates peak demand of 25.2 GW this summer and 20....

In a time when shoppers are dismayed by sticker shock across all types of stores, four companies will remain atop the best consumer stocks to buy in 2026 for their resilience, competitive moats, and ability to keep customers happy. Walmart (NASDAQ: WMT) , Costco (NASDAQ: COST) , PepsiCo (NASDAQ: PEP) , and Constellation Brands (NYSE: STZ) do more than just survive economic downturns; they are positioned to continue to grow through them. Back in December 2025, Walmart switched from the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) to the Nasdaq to better align with its identity as a tech-driven, omnichannel retailer. Walmart has an impressive diversified portfolio ranging from groceries to household goods and even a rapidly growing advertising business. In this regard, Walmart competes directly with the behemoth Amazon . Walmart's financials are exceptional. In fiscal year 2026, the retailer reported a 4.7% increase in overall revenue, bringing the total to $713 billion. The global advertising business was the real star of the year, growing 46% to $6.4 billion. Walmart raised its quarterly dividend to $0.2475 per share, which works out to $0.99 per share per year. The company has now increased dividends for 53 consecutive years. Continue reading

Oaktree Capital Management cut the value of one of its private credit funds by almost 4% as the firm marked down its software assets. The $2.8 billion Oaktree Specialty Lending Corp. wrote down its performing software loans by about 3%, citing declines in similar publicly traded loans. “We believe that these markdowns generally are not indications of deteriorating fundamentals in the underlying portfolio companies, but rather reflecting the repricing of risk in the broader markets,” Matt Pendo , president of the business development company, said on an earnings call Tuesday. The fund said total investment income fell about 10% to $70.4 million in the three months to March 31 compared with a year earlier, missing analyst estimates. It also cut its dividend to 34 cents a share from 40 cents in the prior quarter. Shares fell as much as 7% and closed more than 5% lower at $12.16. Private credit funds have been under scrutiny as advancements in artificial intelligence threaten to upend their bets on software, an industry that makes up a significant portion of lenders’ portfolios. AI Risk The Oaktree fund’s valuation markdowns excluded software assets that were no longer generating interest income, including loans to software company Pluralsight . After quarter-end, the fund sold a loan it had extended to another software business, Anthology, at a price “modestly” below its mark, which was at 40 cents on the dollar as of year-end. It also offloaded two of its under-performing loans, health care company Dominion Diagnostics and insurance marketing platform All Web Leads , adding that All Webs was bought by a strategic buyer with an “AI-focused value creation angle.” Oaktree has about 21% of the $2.8 billion fund marked as software and services, which the lender values at around $526 million, according to its earnings presentation. But it said 26% of its total portfolio is exposed to AI risk. Two software borrowers representing 2.9% of total investments at fair value are at...
