A
conservation group working to block an electrical project from Canada into southern New Hampshire is seeking to disrupt the project by paying for conservation
easements.
Three
Vermont power companies have signed contracts for electricity
that would supplement or replace their existing deals with Vermont Yankee and
Hydro-Quebec. Under
the new contracts, a lot of the power would come from wind and hydroelectric
projects.
New England’s governors have endorsed a plan calling for up to a third of the region’s electric power to come from wind by 2030, with a big new network of high-voltage transmission lines to move the energy from source to market.
