CONCORD, NH — Following announcement by the U.S. Energy Department that the Twin States Clean Energy Link has been selected to receive investment through the department’s Transmission Facilitation Program, Gov. Chris Sununu welcomed the news.
“Ratepayers come first in New Hampshire,” said Gov. Chris Sununu. “Tapping into hydropower resources, the Twin States Clean Energy Link project makes use of clean, renewable energy to deliver the region a reliable energy source with cost savings for consumers. This project is a win for New Hampshire.”
Sununu has supported the project, which will deliver 1,200 megawatts of clean Canadian hydropower to New England, since its announcement in May.
According to an independent market assessment based on current project estimates, the Twin States Clean Energy Link is “projected to lower costs for customers across New England, creating more than $8.3 billion in wholesale energy market cost savings over the first 12 years of operation alone.”
