$1 billion transmission line wins key approval for its route in Maine
Maine's rural land use regulators have approved a transmission corridor proposal by Central Maine Power (CMP) certifying CMP's $1 billion New England Clean Energy Connect project as an accepted use in the areas it would be built.
The power line is planned to carry hydroelectric power generated in Canada down to Massachusetts, reports Press Herald.
The project still awaits a decision from the Maine Department of Environmental Protection and approval from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which should issue a decision in the next few months.
