Battle between New England Clean Energy Connect and state residents that oppose it hinges on whether developers have a vested right to complete the 233-kilometre project
A battle over a $1 billion transmission line that won all regulatory approvals only to be rebuked by state residents in a referendum now comes down to nine regular folks.
“We’re not aware of a similar instance in which the fate of a large energy asset rests in the hands of a jury. This is an unusual circumstance,” Timothy Fox, vice president of Clear View Partners, an energy research firm in Washington, D.C., said before the trial began Monday.
Justice Michael A. Duddy could have made the fact-finding determination himself but ruled in favour of project opponents, including the Natural Resources Council of Maine, who asked for a jury to make the determination. That ruling is considered a victory for those who are opposed to the project. Early on, developers envisioned smooth sailing because the transmission path would mostly follow existing corridors, with only a new 53-mile section crossing sparely populated woods to reach the Canadian border.
