Grid managers see no power crunch this summer

NEW YORK -- Power grid managers say electricity supplies in the Northeast this summer will be adequate to handle the region's power needs, even if there's a long heat wave.

But if it gets especially hot, or there are problems with the grid, the Boston area is one spot where emergency measures might have to be taken to prevent power failures.

A report today from the Northeast Power Coordinating Council also cites Southwestern Connecticut as a region where such moves might be needed.
