NYPA Transmission Projects
A Model of Continuous Improvement
The New York Power Authority's expertise in strategic transmission is vital to addressing New York State's critical need for an expanded, more reliable and resilient energy grid. NYPA is uniquely able to expedite, build and maintain critical transmission infrastructure projects.
NYPA's capabilities and expertise solve tough, challenging problems brought on by aging infrastructure, climate change, and the continuous need for innovative new technologies. At times, NYPA teams with other transmission companies and strategic private entities to achieve the best and most economical transmission line improvements. Together, we share the vision of a thriving, resilient New York State powered by clean energy. A comprehensive map of statewide transmission investments is available HERE.
Propel NY Energy
- 86 miles
- 230 / 345 kV
Propel NY Energy, a collaboration with New York Transco, was selected by the New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) to develop an electric transmission solution to meet growing demand for electric power on Long Island, in New York City, and across Westchester County with underground cables and new transmission pathways. These improvements will increase transmission capacity in order to deliver more energy into the statewide electric grid.

Smart Path Connect
- 100 miles
- 230 / 345 kV
The NY Power Authority's power grid expansion and improvement investments are designed to support ever-increasing community power needs. 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 in the South and in the North heading East.
Central East Energy Connect
In Service
- 93 miles
- 345 kV
By increasing the capacity of transmission lines, this project has cut down on energy bottlenecks that slow the current system and contribute to unnecessarily high energy bills for New Yorkers across the state. The NY Power Authority and LS Power Grid New York teamed up to rebuild a 93-mile section of transmission lines to alleviate congestion and support renewable energy across the state.
Smart Path
- 86 miles
- 230 / 354 kV
The NY Power Authority creates solutions that bolster the strength of the state’s power grid, serving all New Yorkers. Smart Path is an 86-mile-long rebuild of the Moses-Adirondack transmission line. Now in service, the North-South artery opens up the transmission pathway from the North Country to Central New York.
Long Island Cable Reconductoring
- 26 Miles
- 600 MW
The NY Power Authority's transmission investments address aging infrastructure while improving the energy grid and delivering real benefits to the residents of New York State. Recent modernization of the Nassau County section of the Long Island Sound Cable (Y-49) ensures the continued reliable supply of electricity to homes and businesses while improving operating efficiency.
Clean Path New York
- 174 miles
- 1300 MW
The NY Power Authority has filed a petition with the New York State Public Service Commission (PSC) seeking designation for the proposed Clean Path Transmission Project as a Priority Transmission Project. Our proposal would accelerate development and reduce congestion by bypassing transmission bottlenecks to deliver renewable energy directly into New York City.
