Project Details
The cross-border transmission project is being developed through a partnership between Iberdola’s US-based sub-holding company Avangrid and Hydro Quebec, a Canadian public utility that manages electricity generation, transmission, and distribution in the province of Quebec. The NECEC project, involves the construction of approximately 233km of high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission line and once complete will be capable of transmitting 1,200MW of clean renewable electricity from Canada to the US. On the US side of the project, the new HVDC transmission line will run for approximately 85km from Beattie Township in Maine near the Canadian border to merge with an existing transmission line right-of-way (ROW) in The Forks, Maine, for another 151km to Lewiston. A new DC/AC converter substation will be constructed in Lewiston, Maine from where power will be distributed to the New England power grid. The project also involves a new 345 kilovolt (kV) substation in Pownal, Maine.
