Smart Path: Rebuilding an aging transmission line

Work has resumed on the Smart Path project, a vital transmission infrastructure project to rebuild and strengthen the Moses-Adirondack transmission lines. In coordination with New York State and other regional partners, NYPA identified a number of essential generation and transmission projects and associated construction, including the Smart Path project, that can safely continue using additional precautions against the spread of the COVID virus.


Through an Incident Command Structure, NYPA will continue to monitor the pandemic and make adjustments to these precautions as necessary.


About the Smart Path project:

NYPA is rebuilding its 86-mile-long Moses-Adirondack transmission line. Though consistently well-maintained, the line is over 70 years old and has exceeded its service life. Rebuilding the line will lead to long-term benefits and support future upgrades in voltage, which would allow for greater transmission of energy from renewable sources developed in Northern New York.

Reforming the Energy Vision: Building a cleaner, more resilient, and affordable energy system for all New Yorkers. #REV4NY
