The NYS Public Service Commission wants to hear from the public.

On October 11, 2022, New York Power Authority and Clean Path LLC filed an application with the New York State Public Service Commission (Commission), pursuant to Article VII of the Public Service Law, for a Certificate of Environmental Compatibility and Public Need regarding the Clean Path Transmission Project. If granted, the Certificate would authorize the construction, operation, and maintenance of approximately 178 miles of electric transmission line from the Town of Delhi, Delaware County to a point of interconnection in Astoria, Queens County, New York.

The proposed Project is comprised of underground and submarine components and will travel through portions of Delaware, Dutchess, New York, Orange, Putnam, Queens, Rockland, Sullivan, and Westchester counties (see figure on reverse side). The 131 miles of underground cable begins at the Fraser Substation in Delaware County and follows existing right-of-way owned by various state and New York City agencies, as well as utility companies and ends at the Rainey Substation in Queens. The submarine portion includes a 47-mile transmission line in the Hudson, Harlem, and East Rivers, including six landfalls where the line enters or exits the rivers. The onshore components would include a 2,000-foot underground cable route and a substation facility within the power complex. 

 

Dates and locations of the public forums and hearings are listed below. Information on how to submit comments is available in the Notice of Public Information Forums, Public Statement Hearings which can be found on the DPS Clean Path case page.
