REAL. CLEAN. POWER.

See how we’re ready to power New York into the future.

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. 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 between 1,000 – 1,250 MW of low-cost renewable power directly into the New York Metro area.

The Sun: Towns may get windfall from underwater transmission cable

The line, known as the Champlain Hudson Express Project, would be spooled onto the bed of Lake Champlain off of the New York shore. The project proposes a payment in lieu of taxes to the towns, county and school boards, which could add tens of thousands of dollars to budgets where such a sum could make a meaningful difference.

Coxsackie greenlights hydroelectricity project

Village trustees granted access to a renewable energy project Monday night. The Champlain Hudson Power Express, proposed by Transmission Developers Inc., is a 333-mile underwater and underground electric transmission line that will import 1,000 megawatts of renewable energy from Canada to New York City.

Times Union Letter by Jim Scully: Hydro reliable, clean power

New state regulations and mandates are meant to improve air and water quality for vulnerable communities. Hydroelectric power transferred down Champlain Hudson Power Express will provide relief to communities that have been historically impacted by fossil fuels.
