More delay in building the Central Maine Power-backed electricity transmission corridor through western Maine could affect the project’s viability, a lawyer said Wednesday in asking a judge to let the work continue. John Aromando, representing the New England Clean Energy Connect project, was seeking to block enforcement of the voter referendum halting work. “It reaches a tipping point” where the $1.4 billion project no longer makes economic sense, Aromando told Business and Consumer Court Judge Michael A. Duddy. CMP wants to be allowed to continue construction while the court skirmishing grinds on.
