Yesterday, Canada’s largest electric utility kicked off its contract with NYSERDA. Now, the 1.3-GW Champlain Hudson Power Express hydro transmission line can deliver Hydro-Québec’s leftover summer capacity to New York City. (Last month, the line went live ahead of schedule.)
The benefits: During May testing, the CHPE line offered up to 33% of NYC’s electrons. Over the next three decades, it’s projected to save the city’s homes and businesses over $17B. It also adds the biggest renewable energy injection in NY state history.
