Major Projects Underway
Propel NY Energy
The New York Power Authority’s commitment to a clean energy future will spur technological innovation and economic growth that will benefit all New Yorkers. Propel NY, a collaboration with New York Transco, was selected by NYISO (New York Independent System Operator) to develop an innovative electric transmission solution to strengthen the backbone of the electric grid on Long Island, in New York City, and across Westchester County. These improvements will increase transmission capacity to deliver more wind-generated energy into the statewide electric grid.

Clean Path New York
A critical part of NYPA's mission is to help protect the health, safety, and security of New Yorkers by being a leader in the transition to an energy system that is less reliant on fossil fuels. Clean Path NY is a pioneering investment in clean energy infrastructure including new generation and transmission that will deliver reliable clean power to New York City and help realize a renewable energy economy.
Smart Path Connect
NYPA's power grid expansion and improvement investments are designed to support current community power needs and long-term state clean energy goals. Smart Path Connect is modernizing and strengthening approximately 100 miles of transmission, increasing power flow capacity and transmission system resilience to severe weather events in the North Country and the Mohawk Valley. Smart Path Connect connects to Smart Path to the South and in the North heading East.
Central East Energy Connect
Increasing the capacity of transmission lines will cut down on energy bottlenecks that slow the current system and lead to unnecessarily high energy bills for New Yorkers across the state. NYPA has teamed up with LS Power Grid New York to rebuild a 93-mile section of transmission lines from the Mohawk Valley to the Capital Region.
