(Reuters) – New York State on Thursday approved a multi-billion-dollar, long-term project by Montreal-based public utility Hydro-Quebec to deliver hydropower to parts of New York City.
Hydro-Quebec said its U.S. partner, Transmission Developers Inc, will begin construction of the Champlain Hudson Power Express line in summer 2022 to supply hydropower. Commissioning of the line is scheduled for 2025, it added.
