MAINE PUBLIC • May 14, 2024
Last year, the Public Utilities Commission terminated an agreement on the construction of a 1,000 megawatt wind farm in Aroostook County, and a high-voltage transmission line that would connect the wind project to the New England power grid. The deal was killed after months of negotiations, with a dispute over pricing with transmission line developer LS Power serving as one of the primary points of disagreement. But last week, the commission issued an order asking developers to share their interest and provide information on potential new bids related to the Northern Maine project.
