Yes and no. While at the present moment there may not be an immediate need for additional capacity, at some point based on the rate of consumption the ability to provide ample power and reliably distribute it will need to be addressed. There is no doubt power consumption is on the rise. Whether or not the proposed Northern Pass was the best option to address this of course has been a point of contention for years now. Eventually something will need to be done, hopefully more thought is put into the next proposal which will garnish more public support.
