Eversource Energy has been awarded an $89 million federal grant for its Huntsbrook Offshore Wind (OSW) Hub project based in Montville.
The grant was awarded in the second round of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Grid Innovation Program.
The Huntsbrook OSW Hub proposal was included in the Power Up New England project portfolio that was selected earlier this month to receive $389 million overall from the DOE program. The portfolio is intended to support New England’s transition to clean energy while improving grid reliability across the region.
The Huntsbrook OSW Hub project will construct a new, 345 kilovolt switching station in southeastern Connecticut at Huntsbrook Junction in Montville.
The hub will serve as a new interconnection point to transmit power from offshore wind projects, which are expected to deliver 2,400 megawatts of power over high-voltage transmission lines via the hub.
Eversource said the hub will use existing utility property and rights of way to avoid unnecessary environmental impacts and significant disruptions to local communities, while providing benefits of energy cost savings and enhanced workforce development programs.
Eversource said it expects to submit requests for the necessary permits for the Huntsbrook OSW Hub later this year, with review processes that could last through 2027. The company anticipates construction to begin in 2028 and continue through 2031.
