Securing New York's Transmission Future to Power Your Way of Life

A modern, resilient, and reliable transmission system is vital to meeting the current and future energy needs of all New Yorkers. With growing demand, it is critical to increase capacity, improve redundancy, and upgrade infrastructure and the transmission grid across the entire state.

As the largest state public power organization in the nation, the New York Power Authority is uniquely able to develop, build, and maintain critical transmission infrastructure projects that fortify New York’s grid for everyone who lives and works in the state. The NY Power Authority owns and operates approximately one-third of New York’s transmission backbone, bringing clean, reliable energy where it is needed most. Our transmission team brings expertise in advanced transmission technology, design and construction, operations and maintenance, and community engagement in order to ensure the health of the transmission system for generations to come.

Reliable

NY Power Authority transmission projects enable the delivery of reliable power to high-demand population centers and rural communities alike. Reliable energy systems provide life-saving resilience against forces of nature and other unpredictable scenarios.

Clean

NY Power Authority transmission is at the forefront of sustainable clean energy solutions. By allowing more clean energy to flow across the state, NYPA’s transmission system contributes to the health and well-being of our natural environment, our communities, and New Yorkers of all ages. 

Economical

NY Power Authority’s transmission projects are engineered to increase the efficiency of the overall energy system. The NY Power Authority serves the public without the use of any tax revenue or state credit. We finance the construction of our projects through bond sales to private investors, repaying bondholders with proceeds from our operations.
