Con Edison is set to activate new 138-kV transmission lines in Brooklyn this month, which form part of a broader $505 million Reliable Clean City initiative aimed at improving electric reliability. The new mile-long cable connects the Gowanus and Greenwood substations and is designed to support increased energy demands, including those from electric vehicles and clean energy programs. With a capacity to deliver 300 MW—enough to power about 300,000 air conditioners—the project has garnered support from local organizations and is expected to facilitate economic growth in the area.
