The state Board of Public Utilities on Wednesday adopted the state’s plan to build a transmission system capable of handling 7500 megawatts of electricity by 2035. It will enter into an agreement with regional grid operator PJM Interconnection.
State officials will study the best ways to bring the power onshore and distribute it to areas of the state where it is needed.
