LI Sound Cable project is completed!

This project, a $70 million upgrade and modernization of its Long Island Sound Cable (Y-49), an underground transmission line that transverses the Long Island Sound from Westchester County to Nassau County, carrying up to 600 megawatts of electricity to Long Island.

The transmission project accelerates progress against New York State's goal for 70 percent of the state's electricity to come from renewable sources by 2030. It also advances the state’s path to realizing a zero-emission grid by 2040 as outlined in the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (the Climate Act).
