Power line could bring wind energy to Mass. from northern Maine

Maine's Public Utilities Commission approved a 100+ mile, 1,200 MW power line by Avangrid and an 800 MW wind farm by Clearway Energy. The line will connect Aroostook County to Pittsfield, funded by ratepayers in five New England states. Massachusetts, a major consumer, will contribute an unspecified amount. The project aims to provide clean, affordable energy and reduce reliance on offshore wind, hindered by federal policies.
