Since the proposed line would cut east of Concord, within site of top floors of some downtown buildings, some opposition arose here, as well. That surprise vote ended deliberations earlier than expected. In this case, the Subcommittee considered and weighed extensive evidence including testimony from witnesses and over 2, exhibits presented by the parties, including intervenors, conducted seven site visits, and held 70 days of adjudicative hearings. It is facing many of the same objections that Northern Pass faced, including concern about the effect of transmission line towers through backcountry regions.
Northern Pass would funnel Canadian hydropower into the region through a mile transmission line proposed to run through New Hampshire. It needs state and federal permits before it can be constructed. Under current plans, roughly 60 miles of the line would be buried beneath the White Mountain National Forest and through a northern section of the state. As the Northern Pass proposal enters a new year, Murray declined to say if NU as a vendor has an exclusivity agreement with Hydro-Quebec.
With NU and Hydro-Quebec executives refusing to provide specifics about the project, it is unknown if Hydro-Quebec in the future would look at another vendor or at an alternative to Northern Pass.
