JAY Representatives of NECEC Transmission LLC’s New England Clean Energy Connect project answered questions Tuesday night regarding its shoreland zoning permit application for the 7 miles of the proposed transmission line expected to go through the town.
The proposed 145.1 mile high-voltage, direct current electric transmission line would run from the Quebec border to Lewiston to connect with the New England power grid to send “clean, renewable energy to Massachusetts consumers,“ according to developers. The cost is estimated at about $1 billion.
Permitting specialist James Morin presented a short PowerPoint on the project.
Fourteen people, not factoring in six Planning Board members, attended the public hearing. Five or six of those were representatives of transmission corridor and eight were residents, according to town code enforcement officer, Ronda Palmer’s tally.

JAY The Planning Board voted Tuesday to accept an application for a shoreland zoning permit as complete for the New England Clean Energy Connect Transmission corridor.
About 7 miles of the proposed 145.1 mile high-voltage, direct current transmission line from the Quebec border to Lewiston is to run through Jay, though not all of it falls under the town’s Shoreland Zoning Ordinance. The line would connect to the New England power grid to bring “clean, renewable energy to Massachusetts consumers,” according to developers. The cost is estimated at about $1 billion.
The line is capable of delivering up to 1,200 megawatts of electric generation.
