Description: Atlantic Link has a goal of delivering clean, reliable, carbon-free electricity from land-based wind farms and hydro facilities in Atlantic Canada through a secure, subsea transmission cable. The transmission line will extend from Coleson Cove, south of Saint John, New Brunswick, underwater to Plymouth, Massachusetts where it will connect to use electricity infrastructure that currently connects the grid to Pilgrim nuclear station. That plant is scheduled to retire in 2019. This ~375-mile, 1,000 MW subsea highvoltage direct current (HVDC) interconnection will deliver 5.69 terawatt hours (TWh) of clean energy annually, directly to Massachusetts, for a delivered price that remains fixed for 20 years. Atlantic Link’s supply mix is over 70% wind energy from yet to be constructed wind farms in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. The balance is hydro, supplied by Nalcor Energy and NB Power. The project has been proposed in response to the Massachusetts Clean Energy RFP <a href="https://macleanenergy.com/"/" target="_blank">(macleanenergy.com) </a>, under which the state’s electric utilities have called for approximately 9.45 terawatt hours (TWh) of wind and/or hydro energy. <br/> <br/> On July 26th, Clean Power Northeast Development Inc. submitted the Atlantic Link Project in response to the Massachusetts Request For Proposals (RFP) for Long-Term Contracts for Clean Energy Projects pursuant to Section 83D of Chapter 169 of the Acts of 2008, as amended by chapter 188 of the Acts of 2016, An Act to Promote Energy Diversity <br/> <br/> <b><u>Federal Permitting</b></u> <br/> Formal permitting activity has been paused since the spring of 2018 while options for development of the Atlantic Link project are being assessed. <br/> <br/> <em>Date of last review: May 2019</em>
