Northern Pass Project

By Nate Glanville

In the state of New Hampshire, we are not fully employed; we have been collecting social security and not working or finding and local jobs that are commutable.

A new project, the Northern Pass project (a hydroelectric energy plant) will give opportunities for locals to begin working. This project will not only benefit workers, but the state’s population by providing hydroelectric energy to potentially power millions of homes in New Hampshire. This energy will come from Quebec Canada, and travel throughout the state stopping in Concord and Deerfield. Currently the set date for project is the year 2013-2014.

Some citizens of NH believe the Northern Pass Project will be beneficial for the state because the construction will put up the power lines and create jobs for the people. PSNH is looking forward to keeping the project.F rom this project, PSNH will have to put up new power lines of electricity through the state.


There are some people that don’t like the idea of having power lines though their backyard. According to Ruth Mailhot from Colebrook, New Hampshire, she is totally against the idea of this project, because it would go through her backyard. Construction would also interfere with her travel routes. This is what she thought about the Northern Pass Project: “I really don’t like the idea of having power lines going through my back yard, and I don’t need to be paying more."
