In Kennebunk, the project involves the construction of a new 345 kV transmission line and the expansion of the existing Maguire Road Substation.

Approximately 4.7 miles of new 345 kV transmission line will be constructed from the Arundel town line to the expanded Maguire Road Substation and approximately 0.8 miles of new 345 kV transmission line will be built from the expanded Maguire Road Substation to the Wells town line. The new line will run on the east side of the existing corridors on H-frame structures averaging 75 feet in height.

The existing Maguire Road Substation occupies approximately 4.57 acres within the CMP transmission line corridor. The proposed expansion will consist primarily of the addition of two new 345 kV bays, a 345/115 kV transformer and a 345 kV control house. Approximately 3.60 acres will remain as new permanently developed area and be contained within the expanded 345/115 kV yard.

Local permitting efforts are still ongoing for the MPRP in Kennebunk.
