Media Coverage
Energy is a widely reported on topic in the New England press. State energy policies, new generation development projects, transmission development, including NEITC’s Green Line Project, receive considerable attention in the public media as well as in industry trade publications. An independent media perspective is important to furthering the public’s understanding of projects of scale and their potential effect on New England’s energy future. Below is a sampling of media coverage specifically about Green Line or generally about energy development in New England.
