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.

New Federal Approvals For The Champlain Hudson Power Express

Transmission Developers Inc. (TDI) today announced that the company’s Champlain Hudson Power Express (CHPE) project has received two authorizations, granted by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and the International Boundary Commission, that clear the way for the project to finalize transmission agreements and undertake construction activities at the U.S.–Canada border.

Times Union Editorial: A Way Back to Prosperity

As New York cautiously emerges from the dormancy forced by the COVID-19 pandemic, Gov. Andrew Cuomo is rightly looking at ways the state can jump-start its economy. One of his first ideas is to revive discussion of a transmission line to carry power from Canada to New York City. The Champlain Hudson Power Express, which would mostly run under Lake Champlain and the Hudson River, seems to be a useful start. It would create construction jobs and yield more of the green energy New York is mandated by its own law to shift to in coming years.
