Home » Maine Court Allows $1B Hydropower Transmission Project to Proceed
Maine’s Supreme Court cleared the way for construction to begin on the nearly $1-billion, 145-mile high voltage transmission line that will feed hydroelectric power from Quebec into the New England power grid.
The court on Aug. 13 rejected as unconstitutional a proposal by foes to include a measure opposing the project, called New England Clean Energy Connect, on the state ballot in November. Opponents challenged the transmission line’s approval by the Maine Public Service Commission.
