A proposed $1 billion transmission line in Maine has been approved to import hydropower from Canada to supply the New England grid
.
The Land Use Planning Board determined that the transmission project, known as the New England Clean Energy Connection, met local land-use standards
.
But the project still faces other regulatory hurdles
.
The transmission project, called Central Maine Power, will allow up to 1,200 megawatts of Canadian hydropower to reach the regional grid to meet Massachusetts' green energy goals
.
However, the Maine Natural Resources Commission, which opposes the project, said it would cause "tremendous harm"
to tourism, scenery and resources.
"The information provided so far makes it clear that this project is a significant deal for Maine and will cause irreparable damage to the largest continuous temperate forest in North America," said
Sue Ely, an attorney with the Maine Natural Resources Commission.
Proponents argue that curbing electricity bills and reducing carbon emissions equivalent to 700,000 cars would benefit
the entire New England region.
