The same places all the other electricity in this state comes from.

You miss the point: mass is pushing to limit or eliminate gas permits for new construction, so that will need more electricity. Plus electric cars. Now electric trains. That is a lot of electricity to be found.

Edit

Downvoting me will not change the fact that increasing the load on the electrical grid is likely to cause problems, and the electric trains are just another stone on that well intentioned path to hell.

Until the electrical provider issues are resolved, this is going to become a gigantic mess in about 10 years.
