In Androscoggin County, we’ve proposed upgrading approximately 13 miles of overhead distribution line to stronger tree wire in Mechanic Falls, Auburn, Lewiston, and Leeds. These distribution hardening projects replace bare wire with more resilient materials that perform better during storms and tree contact, helping reduce outages and improve overall reliability for customers across the county.

Our proposed projects in Cumberland County include modernizing essential infrastructure in Portland, Yarmouth, South Portland, and Gray through substation upgrades, capacity enhancements, and system reinforcements. The work includes the Portland Area Transmission Reinforcement Project, which consolidates aging substations and bolsters the transmission network to meet long-term regional demand.

Upgrades also involve transformer replacements, modern automated equipment, and gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) installations that reduce substation sizes while enhancing performance and resilience. These improvements collectively boost reliability, expand backup capabilities, and increase safety for customers, first responders, and the public.

In Franklin County, we’ve proposed projects in Jay, Rangeley, and Strong to enhance reliability and expand capacity to support local economic development, including housing growth, small businesses, tourism, and electrification. Upgrades involve building more than three miles of three-phase line, strengthening overhead infrastructure, and replacing substation transformers nearing capacity limits. These improvements help ensure the electric system can support increasing business activity while minimizing outage impacts on the community.

Our proposed grid investments in Hancock County focus on upgrading approximately two miles of overhead line in Bucksport by replacing bare wire with stronger tree wire. These improvements strengthen the local distribution system, reduce vulnerability to storms and falling trees, and help improve service reliability for customers in the area.

Across Kennebec County, projects proposed in Farmingdale, China, Monmouth, Vassalboro, and Waterville include extensive distribution hardening, substation upgrades, and capacity improvements. Work such as rebuilding the McCoy Substation in Vassalboro, upgrading transformers, and replacing miles of overhead line modernizes aging infrastructure, enhances storm resilience, and supports future customer growth.

In Knox County, we’ve proposed upgrading nearly 10 miles of overhead lines, and new circuit ties are being installed across Thomaston, Rockland, Washington, and Camden. These enhancements improve the grid’s ability to reroute power during outages, reduce the number of customers affected, and support quicker service restoration during storms or equipment failures.

If approved, our plans include several projects in Lincoln County, such as in Newcastle, Bristol, Wiscasset, Boothbay Harbor, and Waldoboro, aimed at improving reliability and increasing capacity to meet growing demand. This work involves strengthening distribution systems, adding new circuit connections, and installing a larger substation transformer to address capacity limits. These upgrades help reduce outages and ensure the electric system can support ongoing growth throughout the county.

In Oxford County, proposed projects across Waterford, Rumford, Sweden, Roxbury, and Oxford upgrade more than eight miles of overhead line and add new circuit ties. These improvements strengthen infrastructure against severe weather, reduce outage size and duration, and improve the system’s ability to shift power when issues occur.

Our plan includes several Penobscot County improvements, such as major substation upgrades in Carmel and distribution strengthening in Hermon and Dexter. A comprehensive substation rebuild features modern equipment, increased capacity, and system redundancy, while upgraded overhead lines improve storm resilience and ensure reliable service for nearby communities.

In Piscataquis County, we’ve proposed projects in Monson and Guilford to replace overhead lines with stronger tree wire and add a new circuit tie. These upgrades enhance reliability, reduce outage impacts, and offer greater flexibility for faster power restoration during service interruptions.

In Sagadahoc County, we’ve proposed upgrading roughly 14 miles of overhead line, and multiple system improvements are underway in Topsham and Woolwich. New circuit ties and transformer upgrades reduce system bottlenecks, enable power rerouting during outages, and alleviate constraints on a busy section of the grid. These projects collectively improve reliability, decrease congestion, and help the electric system support growth across the region.

If approved, we have proposed projects in Somerset County, including upgrades in Fairfield, Skowhegan, Pittsfield, and Emden. These include new circuit construction, transformer capacity improvements, and distribution hardening. These projects aim to balance system load, reduce outages, and enhance reliability while preparing the electric system for future growth.

Our plans include proposed projects in Waldo County, specifically in Lincolnville, Brooks, and Unity upgrade nearly eight miles of overhead line and address substation capacity constraints. By strengthening power lines and upgrading transformers nearing their limits, these improvements reduce outage risk, improve storm performance, and support growing energy needs in the area.

In York County, projects proposed across Old Orchard, Kennebunkport, Saco, Limerick, and South Berwick modernize the electric system through substation upgrades, new circuits, circuit ties, and distribution hardening. Improvements such as the Factory Island substation upgrade strengthen aging infrastructure, improve reliability, and ensure the system can support future customer and community growth.
