NYPA Transmission
Access to reliable, clean, and economical power for all New Yorkers.
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.
