ALBANY, NEW YORK – Transmission Developers Inc. (TDI) will hold the fifth in a series of public presentations on its innovative power transmission project, the Champlain Hudson Power Express. The Champlain Hudson Power Express will bring safe, secure, affordable, renewable energy to New York and New England. The line will be a High Voltage direct current (HVdc) cable that will be placed in waterways or buried along railway routes to minimize impacts to local communities and the environment.
The project will run from the U.S.-Canadian border to New York and Southern New England. It will deliver renewable power to meet growing demand in that area, increase the security of the State’s electric grid, and reduce energy costs for consumers.
