New Yorkers were generally in support of the entirely in-state Clean Path NY transmission project and opposed to the line to import Canadian hydropower.

New York will start turning policy into infrastructure in 2022, with construction of a major transmission line and the first of several offshore wind projects.

New York officials report that clean energy jobs will increase by more than 200,000 this decade and by nearly 350,000 by midcentury.

New York selected the Clean Path and the Champlain Hudson Power Express transmission projects from among seven submitted to the CES Tier 4 solicitation.

The environmental organization Riverkeeper says there are proposals preferable to running transmission lines under the Hudson River.
