Hydro-Quebec halts work on its part of hydropower corridor

Associated Press  

PORTLAND, Maine — With construction halted on a 145-mile power line in Maine, a Canadian partner on the project is following suit and temporarily halting construction on the other side of the border. Hydro-Quebec advised a regulatory agency in Canada that it hopes to be able to resume construction “and remains convinced of the value, merits and importance of the project” that aims to bring up to 1,200 megawatts of hydropower to the New England power grid. In Maine, environmental regulators suspended a permit after residents rebuked the project in a referendum and the developers suspended construction under pressure from the governor. Central Maine Power and Quebec-Hydro partnered on the $1 billion project dubbed the New England Clean Energy Connect.
