Champlain Hudson Power Express

Champlain Hudson Power Express began construction in 2022 of the largest single renewable energy opportunity for New York State. Its 1,000 MW HVDC buried transmission line will transport a minimum of 8.3 TWh of renewable energy directly into New York City. Of this 333-mile route from the Canadian border to New York City, 60% will be buried in waterways and 40% will be buried along existing rights-of-way. This is estimated to decrease carbon emissions by 3.4 million metric tons per year.

This project will provide $431 million in direct construction investment over three years, and $269 million in revenue to local municipalities and school districts over 30 years throughout the PILOT and host community benefit payments.
