WHITE PLAINS, NEW YORK -- The New York Power Authority (NYPA) Board of Trustees approved a measure that would provide the Authority with a 37.5% ownership stake in a project with LS Power Grid New York to rebuild a transmission line from Marcy, Oneida County, to New Scotland, Albany County.
The project, known as the Marcy to New Scotland Project, was selected to move forward by the New York Independent System Operator in response to a competitive solicitation process calling for transmission projects along this corridor that would help relieve transmission congestion and facilitate greater statewide access to renewable energy.
The project involves work along approximately 100 miles of transmission lines and the construction of two new substations between NYPA's central transmission hub in Marcy and the New Scotland substation.
The rebuilt transmission lines are expected to be in service by the end of 2023.
