DEP Commissioner Melanie Loyzim determined that new statutory changes in Maine would prevent the developers of NECEC from building the line as permitted.

The recent rejection of the New England Clean Energy Connect transmission line was a top concern for attendees at NECBC's Executive Energy Conference.

After Maine voters approved a measure to halt construction of the NECEC transmission line, the line's developer filed a lawsuit challenging the referendum.

Avangrid is “focused on defeating” a ballot referendum designed to halt construction of the NECEC transmission line, CEO Dennis Arriola said.

A delay of the NECEC transmission line could cost Central Maine Power an extra $67 million, according to CEO Thorn Dickinson.

First Nation members held a webinar to explain their opposition to a new transmission line to bring Hydro-Québec’s electricity to New England.

FERC ordered Avangrid and NextEra to submit additional briefs in their ongoing dispute over the New England Clean Energy Connect transmission project.

A critic of hydropower says politicians often make “vacuous statements about a particular energy source being clean, but that is not the case.”

Maine DEP Commissioner Melanie Loyzim is opening a proceeding to consider suspending the permit granted for the NECEC project.

Environmental groups that oppose the NECEC project argue it would be destructive to the largest undeveloped forest east of the Mississippi River.
