The Maine PUC is seeking feedback and indications of interest for a procurement of generation and transmission capacity to connect at least 1,200 MW of clean energy in Northern Maine to ISO-NE.

ISO-NE published the request for proposals for its first longer-term transmission planning procurement, which is focused on increasing North-to-South transmission capacity in New England and interconnecting onshore wind resources in Northern Maine.

Backed by a new process conducted by the New England states, ISO-NE is moving forward with a request for proposals to build new transmission that would bring wind to market from Northern Maine.
