Eversource and Local Partners Preparing to Begin Construction on First-of-its-Kind Greater Cambridge Energy Program
Jul 8, 2024
Following the recent Energy Facilities Siting Board (EFSB) decision approving the Greater Cambridge Energy Program (GCEP), Eversource and its local partners BXP and the Cambridge Redevelopment Authority are coordinating on planning efforts to begin construction of the first-of-its-kind transmission initiative. Innovatively designed to place a significant amount of needed infrastructure underground and out of sight, GCEP will address the increased electric demand in the region, enhance the resiliency of the transmission system and ensure a flexible grid to reliably serve customers while supporting the decarbonization and electrification goals of both the City of Cambridge and Massachusetts to lessen the impact of climate change.
