The New York Power Authority (NYPA) has applied to the state Public Service Commission for permission to rebuild 86 miles of the transmissions lines in Northern New York.
“These transmission lines have been consistent workhorses in the Power Authority statewide transmission and generation power network,” Gil C. Quinones, NYPA president and CEO, said in a news release. “After the Public Service Commission’s review, we hope to give these transmissions lines new life so they can continue to provide New York with cost-effective, clean electricity.”
NYPA says it is looking to rebuild transmission lines from the St. Lawrence to the Adirondack substation in Croghan, connecting hydropower from NYPA’s St. Lawrence-Franklin D. Roosevelt Power Project as well as power from newly constructed renewable energy sources, the authority said.
NYPA estimates the entire project will cost about $670 million.
Work will be done on the existing rights of way and will include 78 miles of lines that were built by the federal government in 1942 and acquired by NYPA in 1950.
NYPA said it expects to get approval from the PSC for the work within a year. It says the project is expected to support hundreds of jobs.
