Next Steps § Complete transmission studies, including an analysis of the economic benefits of the interconnection with significant new wind resources and project costs § Secure regional cost support for MPC with ISO-NE § Identify benefits to existing and potential generators § Seek MPUC approval § Analyze new Northern Maine interconnect with Eastern Canada
