The New Hampshire Site Evaluation Committee meets Monday to discuss what to do about Eversource's appeal for its Northern Pass permit.
The meeting comes weeks after the SEC first rejected the proposed transmission line, which would run nearly 200 miles from Canada to New Hampshire.
Eversource's appeal argues that denial didn't give the Northern Pass plan its due consideration.
Opponents disagree, and say it's too soon to appeal anyway.
"I think Northern Pass is trying to push the envelope because they have a timing problem,” says spokesman Jack Savage of the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests.
He's talking about the project's potential contract with Massachusetts. In a few weeks, that state will choose between Northern Pass and a competitor in Maine for a big renewable energy buy.
