New York state has an aging power transmission system that needs to be brought into the 21st century with new and upgraded lines capable of bringing additional power from new sources to communities where it is needed. The current system is woefully inadequate with older generation plants and a power grid with no major improvements in decades marked by bottlenecks that slow distribution.
A proposed $2.2 billion transmission line to bring electricity 330 miles from Quebec to New York City would be a major step toward dealing with long-standing infrastructure needs and lay the foundation for expanding power production throughout the state. The Champlain Hudson Power Express, a private project, would bring 1,000 megawatts of power through lines mainly under the waters of Lake Champlain and the Hudson River.
