RENSSELAER, NEW YORK - The New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) selected LS Power Grid New York, LLC (formerly known as North America Transmission, LLC), together with the New York Power Authority (NYPA), as the developer of a portion of NYISO's AC Transmission Upgrades, LS Power announced in a press release.

The project includes upgrading existing electric system facilities and rebuilding aging existing transmission lines from the Edic substation in Marcy to New Scotland.

The construction is targeted to begin in late 2020 while the rebuilt transmission lines are expected to be energized as part of the New York electrical system by the end of 2023.

The upgrades are aimed at reducing congestion, improving reliability, and providing better access to renewable resources around New York State by strengthening the transmission system.
