I pulled that 35% from the last energy label Eversource distributed showing the fuel mix and other info for the supply they're providing their customers.

Either way, the number one source of our electricity in New England is natural gas, which puts more pressure on gas supply in the region and pushes pricing up even more than just winter heating.

Sadly nuclear is just under 4% of the mix. I believe at one point it was between 15 and 20% of electricity generation in New England, but now only Seabrook (NH) and Millstone (CT) are operational.

There used to be several. Pilgrim in MA. Then the three Yankee plants in Vermont, Connecticut and Maine.
