Siting Review
To construct and operate the proposed transmission line, Eversource must file a petition with the Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities (DPU) for approval. The petition filing is part of the regulatory review process, as defined by Massachusetts state statutes.
On May 6, 2022, we received approval from the DPU to construct the Carver to Kingston Reliability Project. See the DPU 20-67 Final Order.
