A Transmission Solution to Propel
New York State’s Renewable Energy Future

Two trusted leaders in the New York energy industry – New York Power Authority (NYPA) and New York Transco – are collaborating on an innovative electric transmission solution that will bolster grid reliability and resiliency while delivering clean energy, including offshore wind energy, into the statewide electric grid through system improvements on Long Island, in New York City and in Westchester County.

The transmission system is the network of lines and substations that carry electricity long distances from where it is generated to the local distribution systems that supply our homes and businesses. New York’s transmission system is in serious need of improvements and expansion, and Propel NY Energy will play an important role.

Building these clean energy pathways will:

• Create a more resilient and reliable transmission system for New York homes and businesses;

• Provide a cleaner, healthier New York by enabling greater transmission of renewable energy, including offshore wind energy, and by reducing greenhouse gas emissions;

• Support clean energy and construction jobs, advancing New York’s clean energy economy; and

• Help New York State achieve its nation-leading climate goals.
