What is Twin States and how can it help?
Twin States is a new transmission line from and to Quebec aimed at providing power to back up
wind and solar in New England in place of fossil fuel generation
Twin States would be constructed within existing rights of way through VT and NH, either
underground (VT and NH) or as an upgrade to existing overhead lines (NH)
How is Twin States different than the other proposed lines to Quebec that were strongly
opposed?
Twin States enjoys strong support in New Hampshire, where projects have faced opposition in
the past, because it requires almost no new rights of way and very little tree clearing
Twin States will be built under state roads or as an upgrade to existing overhead lines, resulting
in minimal visual impact for neighbors and visitors
Twin States will be developed by National Grid, a company that makes communicating and
partnering with host communities its top priority
