Today the Maine Supreme Court issued a ruling that found the proposed citizen’s initiative on the New England Clean Energy Connect (NECEC) unconstitutional. The NECEC is a renewable energy project being built by AVANGRID (NYSE: AGR) to bring hydropower from Quebec to Maine and other parts of New England. Opponents had proposed a referendum to block the project.
