Con Edison is set to activate two new underground transmission lines in Brooklyn and Staten Island as part of its $505 million Reliable Clean City program. These lines are essential for strengthening the electric grid amid rising demand from electric vehicles and heating systems. Each line can handle 300 megawatts, powering hundreds of thousands of appliances. The expansion not only supports infrastructure modernizations but also prepares the grid for renewable energy integration, aligning with New York’s climate goals. The upgrades expectedly enhance service reliability and contribute to local economic growth.
Each new transmission line can carry up to 300 megawatts of electricity-enough to power hundreds of thousands of household appliances such as air conditioners, refrigerators, and lighting.
Our Reliable Clean City investments demonstrate our commitment to maintaining our nation leading electric service while building a grid for the future.
Con Edison's investments in its infrastructure make it possible for businesses in Sunset Park and other parts of our region to prosper, create jobs and serve our community with great products and services.
These latest projects follow a successful 2022 upgrade in Queens, where a six-mile line between Corona and Long Island City improved service reliability.
