We are Always Working to Serve You Better

We are planning a Transmission Right of Way Reliability Project (TRRP) in a right of way corridor which starts in Northfield traveling through Erving, Wendell, Montague, Leverett, Shutesbury, Pelham, Belchertown, Amherst, Granby, eventually ending in Ludlow. The Transmission Right of Way Reliability Program is a long-term transmission system reliability and resiliency program that increases the maintained width of the right of way to the easement edge. In cases where the edge of the right of way is a good distance from the lines, approximately 100 feet off the outside wires is to be cleared. This program improves system reliability by reducing the number of tree fall-in risks and has proven to be an effective way to create a sustainable environment comprised of vegetation that can safely coexist with the transmission lines. Our long-term management objective is to manage these newly cleared areas as early succession habitat and encourage the growth of grasses, forbs, and shrubs.
