From the meeting
At the August 20, 2026 meeting, the MBTA said its peak electric demand is about 60 megawatts and could double by 2035 and grow up to eight times by 2050 as it electrifies buses and commuter rail. It also said the system has significant power repair needs, and that bus electrification, rail modernization, and transmission upgrades all require funding and procurement. The MBTA is still shaping power planning and modernization, so the next sales conversation is around capital planning, utility coordination, and infrastructure delivery.
