Tim, the CEO of Con Edison talks about a new 6 mile transmission line, along with upgrades at substations, will increase the amount of power flowing through the stations, and will carry clean energy that will help shut down peaker plants that operate when demand for power is high.

The Queen’s transmission line will be the first of three reliable clean city projects planned by Con Edison over the next few years. Another line is set to run through the Greenwood Heights section of Brooklyn. And a third line is planned in Staten Island, from Bloomfield to Rosebank. Those two are set to connect to the energy grid by 2025.

Along with eliminating fossil fuels, it helps with the sense of environmental justice closer to the neighborhoods neglected in the past. In fact, the stretch in Queens became known as asthma alley.

At Con Edison, we believe these upgrades are necessary as New York City, and the world, continues to use more and more electricity. The Brooklyn Clean Energy Hub will be ready in 2028. The cost for all 4 projects will be approximately 1.6 billion dollars.
