Statement: Maine Land Use Planning Commission Decision

January 8, 2020 - “We are pleased by the decision of the Maine Land Use Planning Commission to grant certification to the New England Clean Energy Connect (NECEC) project.  This decision recognizes that the NECEC is well-designed and sited to meet all LUPC land use standards, and it is clear that the LUPC commissioners and professional staff have diligently studied the record and project testimony in reaching their decision.  NECEC is vital to Maine’s future both environmentally and economically and we look forward to obtaining other necessary federal, state and municipal approvals and beginning construction on the clean energy corridor later this year.”
