Champlain VT, LLC, doing business as TDI-New England (TDI-NE) has applied to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for a Presidential permit to construct, operate, maintain, and connect a new electric transmission line across the U.S.-Canada border in northern Vermont.
Anyone seeking to construct, operate, maintain, or connect an electric transmission facility crossing the borders of the United States must first obtain a Presidential permit issued by DOE under Executive Order (E.O.) 10485, as amended by E.O. 12038. TDI-NE proposes to build a transmission line that crosses a U.S. border, and has applied to DOE for a Presidential permit. DOE did not initiate, nor is it funding, the proposed transmission facility. DOE’s role is limited to deciding whether to issue a Presidential permit. In addition, in order to build its proposed facility TDI-NE will be required to obtain the approval of the State of Vermont.
