PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • November 24, 2021
The developers of an electricity transmission corridor through western Maine who agreed to halt construction last week at the request of Gov. Janet Mills said they also are suspending payments they were making as part of the project. Avangrid Networks, the parent of Central Maine Power Co. and power line developer NECEC Transmission LLC, released Wednesday the letter it sent to Mills on Friday, saying that stopping work on the corridor also would result in a halt to the roughly $250 million in benefits that it promised to the state to win Mills’ support for the $1 billion project.
