Latest Developments
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has determined that, if National Grid builds and operates the project in accordance with its application, supplements, project-specific plans and FERC staff’s recommended mitigation measures detailed in the environmental assessment, approval of the project would not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.

FERC commissioners will take FERC staff’s recommendations under advisement when they make a decision on the project.

Construction is expected to begin this year, pending FERC approval.
