Quebec-to-Queens Hydropower Line Set to Power One Million NYC Homes This Spring
A 339-mile buried transmission line called the Champlain Hudson Power Express is on schedule to bring clean hydropower from Quebec to New York City this spring. The project will deliver enough electricity to power approximately one million homes in NYC, replacing fossil fuel-based power generation. The converter station in Astoria, Queens is a key component of this infrastructure, transforming the direct current electricity from the transmission line into alternating current for the city's grid.
