Northern Pass Project
Update
According to today's Concord Monitor, "Northern Pass is
expected to ask the U.S. Department of Energy to take five
alternative routes out of consideration for a project that would
bring hydroelectricity through the state via 180 miles of power
lines." This would include the alternative route that
would have crossed through the Upper Valley. View the full
article on the Concord
Monitor's website.
