Hydro-Quebec wants to run clean, renewable power into Maine and as part of the New England Clean Energy Connect (NECEC) project. I’m all for it. Despite opinions to the contrary, Maine will benefit directly from this important project. The NECEC will bring $140 million in direct electric rate relief on top of $350 million in indirect relief through lower wholesale energy prices throughout the region over the next 15 years. Hydropower has worked for centuries. It can work for Maine today. ~ Roy Grice, Cumberland
