Concord, NH- Senator Harold French (R-Franklin) issued the following statement after the Site Evaluation Committee’s decision to deny the Northern Pass application.

“I am very disappointed that the SEC denied the current Northern Pass application, which was well-presented and directly addressed the increasing need for low cost, low emissions, base load power in our state and across New England.”

“Northern Pass would be extremely beneficial to the City of Franklin and many of the surrounding communities I represent. I look forward to following the appeal process and hope our communities will have the opportunity to support this project in the future.”
