The most powerful project you’ll never see.

Developed in anticipation of New York state’s transition from fossil fuel to clean energy, the fully buried Champlain Hudson Power Express transmission line is ready to power New Yorkers into the future with clean, renewable hydropower. And just in time, too, as the state’s new Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA) requires that New York be powered by 70 percent renewable energy by 2030. The CHPE is permitted and will be operational in 2025, delivering 1,250 MW of low-cost renewable power directly into the New York Metro area.

Shovel ready with support that is very

RELIABLE

The CPHE is a dependable, always-on supply of clean energy to New Yorkers from existing renewable energy facilities

Fully permitted and will be operational in 2025

Ready to start construction

60+ year lifespan

Wide support from communities up and down the line, labor and environmental groups

Buried line ensures reliable power delivery in natural disasters

The energy is unquestionably

CLEAN

Positions NY as the nation’s leader in the fight against climate change by transitioning away from oil and gas.

Quickly displaces fossil fuel generation with an equally firm power supply. Without this project, as much as 85-90% of the power produced Downstate will come from carbon-emitting sources.

Carbon reduction of at least 37 million metric tons, the equivalent of removing, annually, half a million cars from NYC streets

Buried transmission line greatly reduces environmental and community impacts

POWER

for our future

Because the cost of CHPE’s delivered electricity is fixed over 25 years, it will help New Yorkers save money on energy bills by eliminating fossil fuel price spikes

$1.4 Billion in new revenues for 73 communities

Combined with other projects underway in New York, this will be the largest increase in renewable energy, including hydropower, wind and solar, in New York state history

One of the largest infrastructure investments in NY history

More than 1,400 good-paying, family-sustaining jobs across New York State with a commitment to utilizing union labor
