The demand for the Maine Power Reliability Program ( MPRP ) Iberdrola USA ’ s $ 1.4 billion Maine Power Reliability Program ( MPRP ) is the largest energy infrastructure project in the state ’ s history and the first upgrade of its electricity grid in 40 years ; it is also now Iberdrola USA ’ s largest project to date . Iberdrola USA and cmP launched the MPRP to have a major longterm impact on Maine ’ s electricity delivery system , as well as provide other benefits throughout New England .
Doug Herling , Vice President of
Special Projects for Central Maine Power , commented on the goal of the program stating , “ the MPRP is made up of many , many projects that , on their own , would stand alone as significant projects , but they are closely linked , so we felt that needed to be managed together if we were to succeed .”
The MPRP project includes the construction of five new 345-kilovolt substations and related facilities linked by approximately 450 miles of new or rebuilt transmission lines . The southern end of the line ties into the rest of the New England grid near the New Hampshire border . It supplier profile
