The Hydro-Québec interconnection line project, which will supply the New England network and supply Massachusetts, has just taken an important step.
The United States Army Corps of Engineers has issued it the federal environmental permit for the New England Clean Energy Connect (NECEC) transmission line project.
This 233 km long electric transmission line project in the United States, is intended to transport 1,200 megawatts of electricity from Quebec to New England, via Lewiston in the state of Maine.
“This project has once again proven its worth in front of a panel of experts,” commented Hydro-Québec CEO Sophie Brochu. With this approval, Maine and New England as a whole take one step closer to a clean, renewable energy supply. “
Other approvals to come
Obtaining this permit is of particular importance, given that it paves the way for the launch of construction work in Maine by Central Maine Power, Hydro-Québec’s partner for this project.
To carry out the entire project, Central Maine Power will still have to receive the approval of the United States Department of Energy as well as the permits of certain municipal authorities along its route. But already, work can be undertaken.
For its part, Hydro-Quebec still has to obtain the approval of Quebec and the Régie de l’énergie du Canada before starting the construction of the line that will supply that of Maine.
In Quebec, it is estimated that this new electric transmission line will cover around 100 kilometers.
