The objective is to transform New England’s energy landscape while driving a healthy regional local economy and environment. The alliance will work to develop large-scale, high-voltage direct-current transmission projects that combine wind and hydropower to address regional energy issues.

Green Line Infrastructure Alliance initially will develop the Maine Green Line – a hybrid land-and-sea HVDC project that will initially transmit 1,000MW (expandable to 2,000MW) of wind from northern Maine, firmed up by imports of hydropower from eastern Canada, via a submarine cable to Massachusetts.
