339-mile Quebec-to-NYC hydropower line enters last stage of construction
(UI) — The Champlain Hudson Power Express (CHPE) is entering the last stage of its Lake Champlain work, with completion expected this fall, Adirondack Explorer reported. The $6 billion project will deliver Canadian hydropower to New York City via a 339-mile transmission line.
BACKGROUND: Construction of 339-mile power line begins in New York City
The route begins at the U.S.–Canada border in Rouses Point, travels underwater down Lake Champlain to Putnam Station, then continues underground through Washington County, the Capital Region and Hudson Valley. From there, it reenters the Hudson River south of Catskill before joining the grid at a Queens substation, according to Adirondack Explorer.
A large cable-laying barge and supporting vessels have been progressing southward, operating around the clock for the second season of in-lake construction. Local officials described the illuminated flotilla near Westport as “like a city out there” during overnight operations, as reported by Adirondack Explorer.
