Hydro-Québec and a Central Maine Power Co. affiliate have made initial benefit payments of $5.8 million to Maine for energy infrastructure as part of the $258 million committed to the state in exchange for the 145-mile Clean Energy Corridor construction, according to a news release from the two companies.
The companies in a joint news release said they have committed $10 million to be paid to the state by the end of the year. The money will be earmarked for broadband expansion, heat pumps, electric vehicles, weatherization and more.
“We are committed to helping Maine advance a clean energy agenda that also benefits the state economically,” said Thorn Dickinson, CEO and president of NECEC, which is a subsidiary of Avangrid Inc. (NYSE: AGR), Central Maine Power s parent company. NECEC LLC took over the transmission line project from CMP earlier this year.
