New Electricity Lines Getting Installed Near Belmont Park, Five Towns This Summer: PSEG LI

UNIONDALE, NY — With summer here starting this weekend, PSEG Long Island is prepared for major storms, extreme heat and hurricane season.

The company’s ongoing electric infrastructure and storm hardening improvements help provide electric reliability to Long Island.

PSEG Long Island’s infrastructure improvements for this summer 2025 include:

• Installing a new 69 kV underground transmission circuit between Belmont and Whiteside substations and a new transformer bank at the Belmont Substation. This will provide additional electrical capacity that will serve Elmont and Floral Park residents, the growing demand at UBS Arena, the stores at Belmont Villages, and the numerous shops and restaurants that will serve crowds enjoying the races at Belmont Park, PSEG LI said.
• Installing or upgrading distribution feeder lines in the Woodmere areas to accommodate load growth. These improvements will increase capacity to support the new load additions in the area, including new electric vehicle chargers at the Amazon warehouse and at a shopping center in the Five Towns area.

Since the implementation of the FEMA-funded storm-hardening program funded in 2014, PSEG Long Island has completed storm hardening and reliability work on more than 1,000 miles of distribution mainline circuits.
