The contract to provide renewable energy to the Bay State was originally awarded to Northern Pass but was withdrawn after New Hampshire regulators denied Eversource’s application to build a $1.6 billion powerline on Feb. 1, 2018.
Eversource will have a total of 50 minutes, and the respondents that requested oral argument in their briefs will have a total of 50 minutes.
Intervenors claim Eversource raised issues in its Supreme Court appeal that should not be consider.
Cronin: In its narrative appealing the Site Evaluation Committee denial of the Northern Pass Project, Eversource told our state’s highest court what was false.
Intervenors and others opposing the appeal have until March 21 to file their briefs with the Supreme Court.
The Maine PUC will hold a new scheduling conference on Oct. 31.
The Republican governors of New Hampshire and Maine both supported the projects in their states.
Eversource called the court’s acceptance another step forward for the transmission project.
Intervenors say questions raised in Eversource appeal lack merit.
The SEC denied the project because the application didn’t meet the required criteria.
