Maine court approves $1 billion US-Canada clean energy transmission line project.
TL;DR Summary
A Maine jury has ruled that Avangrid can proceed with the construction of a $1 billion clean energy transmission line from Canada to New England. The high-voltage line, known as the New England Clean Energy Connect, would transmit up to 1,200 megawatts of electricity, enough to power approximately 1 million homes. The project would ultimately be paid for by Massachusetts ratepayers and could decrease energy prices throughout New England. The decision clears the way for construction on the 145-mile transmission line to continue, although Maine officials can still appeal.
