Governor Maura Healey has approved a budget allowing utilities to raise rates to cover the increased costs of a transmission line bringing Canadian hydropower to the New England grid. Managed by Avangrid, the project’s costs rose from $1 billion to $1.5 billion due to delays and inflation. The New England Clean Energy Connect, a partnership between Avangrid and Hydro-Quebec, will deliver 1,200 megawatts of hydropower, supporting Massachusetts’ green energy targets but placing the financial burden on state ratepayers. Advocates suggest solar energy as a cost-effective, environmentally friendly alternative that could avoid similar financial and ecological issues.Governor Maura Healey has approved a budget allowing utilities to raise rates to cover the increased costs of a transmission line bringing Canadian hydropower to the New England grid.
