A high voltage direct-current undersea transmission line proposed from South Brunswick, N.J. to Huntington, N.Y. has received interconnection approvals from the PJM Interconnection and the New York Independent System Operator, a spokesman for the developer said on March 9.
The line is anticipated to deliver 500 MW of low-cost energy to the downstate New York grid in Long Island that is capable of powering about 500,000 homes.
With NYISO approval on March 6 of the 82-mile line’s reliability impact study, the New York Public Service Commission has begun a formal project review, said developer Poseidon Transmission.
