Northern Pass Statement On Decision By NH Site Evaluation Committee To Deny Project’s Application

MANCHESTER, N.H.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The following is a statement from Northern Pass, a project of Eversource
Energy and Hydro-Québec:

We are shocked and outraged by today’s SEC outcome. The process failed
to comply with New Hampshire law and did not reflect the substantial
evidence on the record. As a result, the most viable near-term solution
to the region’s energy challenges, as well as $3 billion of NH job, tax,
and other benefits, are now in jeopardy. Clearly, the SEC process is
broken and this decision sends a chilling message to any energy project
contemplating development in the Granite State. We will be seeking
reconsideration of the SEC’s decision, as well as reviewing all options
for moving this critical clean energy project forward.
