A major electrical transmission line proposal intended to carry power to New England from Canada through Vermont and New Hampshire has been canceled. Electric utility National Grid, one of the developers of the proposal, said in an emailed statement on Thursday that it “has determined that the project is not viable at this time.” The proposed 211-mile, $2 billion Twin State Clean Energy Link was one of three projects around the country selected by the U.S. Department of Energy to receive part of $1.3 billion in investment. National Grid did not say why the project is not viable.
