Delivering energy when and where it’s needed most

From operating rooms to living rooms, New Yorkers rely on the electric transmission system to power our lives. But New York’s transmission system is in need of improvements and expansion. Here’s why:

• Aging Infrastructure. Much of the state’s transmission system was built more than 40 years ago, and some assets are a century old.
  

• Increasing Demand. A clear upward trend is forecast in peak electricity demand over the next decade for both households and businesses.
  

• Environmental Benefits. A built-out transmission system means we can move more clean energy onto and throughout the system, helping reduce carbon emissions and improve air quality.
  

• Electrification. There is an increasing push toward electrification in our daily lives (heat pumps, electric cars, etc.) along with government mandates for increased renewable energy resources.
  

• Extreme Weather. Heat waves and storms increase electricity demand and system vulnerability.
  

• Transmission Congestion. Bottlenecks on existing transmission lines prevent efficient and effective power flow.

Propel NY Energy will help address these issues through system improvements on Long Island, in New York City and in Westchester County.
