Developer Applies To VT for Clean Power Link Transmission Line

National Grid Announces Controversial New Power Line Route
A proposed electric transmission line from Quebec into New England took a step forward this week, as the developer of the New England Clean Power Link applied to Vermont regulators for key project approvals.
Transmission Developers Inc. subsidiary TDI New England has proposed the New England Clean Power Link to bring Canadian hydropower and other electricity to the renewable-hungry New England market. With an estimated project cost of $1.2 billion, the 1000-megawatt high-voltage direct-current transmission line would run under Lake Champlain and underground to a converter station in Ludlow, Vermont, near where it would connect to the existing electric grid owned by Vermont Electric Power Company (VELCO).http://breakingenergy.com/2014/12/16/developer-applies-to-vt-for-clean-power-link-transmission-line/?utm_source=Breaking+Energy&utm_campaign=2da6908e62-RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f852427a4b-2da6908e62-407304281
