Court: Construction can proceed on hydropower corridor DAVID SHARP, Associated Press FacebookTwitterEmail PORTLAND, Maine (AP) Construction can proceed on a 53-mile (85-kilometer) stretch of utility corridor that’s a critical part of a $1 billion project to bring Canadian hydropower to the New England grid, a federal appeals court ruled Thursday. The 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected a request to delay construction while three conservation groups argued for a more strenuous environmental review by the federal government. Thorn Dickinson, president and CEO of the project, called the court s decision “a victory for Maine’s clean energy future.” “The clean energy corridor will eliminate over three million metric tons of dirty emission from the New England energy grid each year by replacing fossil fuels with clean hydropower,” he said in a statement.
