An affiliate of Central Maine Power Co. has lined up contracts totaling more than $300 million for work on its planned transmission corridor through western Maine, even after failing thus far to stop an upcoming voter referendum aimed at scuttling the project. New England Clean Energy Connect LLC, or NECEC, has awarded contracts to Maine-based Cianbro Corp. in a joint venture with Irby Construction, Sargent Electric and Northern Clearing Inc. to build and upgrade the transmission corridor and provide land clearing for the planned project.
