The purpose of this analysis is to evaluate regional economic impacts associated with
the proposed Northern Pass Transmission Project (the “Project” or “NPT”), per SEC
Docket No. 2015-06. There are three primary areas of analysis within our purview: (i) a
general economic impact analysis of the construction, development and operation of the
Project, including integration of energy market price impacts, (ii) potential property
valuation effects and (iii) potential tourism industry impacts.
This analysis is primarily focused on statewide New Hampshire impacts, however, there
are some aspects of the analysis that require estimates of effects in other New England
states and some that require sub-state analysis in order to accurately estimate statewide
New Hampshire impacts.
