Ferg Grants Incentive Rates For Two Major Grid Projects Proposed In New England

摘要

FERC last week conditionally approved incentive rate treatment for the proposed 200 mile, 345 kV Maine Power Connection Project that would provide the first direct link between northern Maine and the rest of the state, and with ISO New England.rnThe commission also granted incentive rates for a $2.1 billion set of grid upgrades and new lines in the New England region, called the New England East-West Solution. The four-part project would add lines and upgrades to the southern New England 345 kV system in Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. It is expected to be completed in 2013.
