Howard J. Cadwell of Western Massachusetts Electric Co testified before a House Public Works subcommittee that private firms can deliver more power to New England at lower costs than the planned $227 million federal hydroelectric project on Maine’s St John River. He cited two private ventures at Millstone Point in Waterford Connecticut and Northfield Mountain in Franklin County Massachusetts totaling 1.63 million kilowatts at an estimated $130 million, asserting private projects will beat the St John project in cost and output.
