The most powerful project you’ll never see.

We are delighted to report that the 339-mile clean energy transmission line, the Champlain Hudson Power Express ® (CHPE), has successfully finished commissioning ahead of schedule and is now fully operational. Hydro-Québec’s contract with the State is expected to commence on June 1st.

We are grateful to our talented team, our partners at Hydro-Québec, Governor Hochul, New York State and New York City, all of our contractors and supporters, the skilled tradespeople of New York, public officials all along our route, and everyone who has worked tirelessly to help us to arrive at this historic moment and we look forward to CHPE serving NYC’s energy needs for decades to come.
