NYPA Transmission Conversion

New York, NY

This project responds to the Public Policy Transmission Need (PPTN) to deliver offshore wind generation into New York City. The goal is to inject clean, renewable energy from offshore wind facilities into the statewide energy grid and help reduce New York City’s reliance on greenhouse gas emitting fossil fuels. Transmission infrastructure will be upgraded and modernized to up to 8,000 MW of offshore wind resources to New York State’s power grid.

Long-term outcomes include:

  • Facilitate delivery of more power and redundancy to ensure uninterrupted delivery of clean energy to high demand areas.

  • Enhance resiliency to help withstand storms and the effects of climate change.

  • Create thousands of clean energy and construction jobs

  • Mitigate positive impacts on consumers through reduced transmission congestion and lower production costs.
