Building Communities, Ensuring Reliability, Advancing Sustainability

Earth Week is a perfect time to consider how we can better ensure that our homes, businesses, and families have access to sustainable, reliable and secure energy in the face of increasingly extreme weather events and steadily rising electricity demand. Propel NY Energy is a core electric infrastructure project that will do just that – keeping the lights on for all our families, ensuring businesses thrive, and keeping communities safe before, during and after storms.

Electric Transmission Upgrades are Essential

As extreme weather events become more frequent, modernizing our electric grid is critical to helping prevent outages, improving emergency response, and strengthening resilience. Propel NY Energy will ease bottlenecks on the current system, expand capacity, and support the integration of cleaner energy sources, all of which will help lower costs for ratepayers, provide communities and businesses needed energy, and ensure long-term environmental and economic benefits.

A Project Built for People

The Propel NY Energy team understands that a strong, modern electric grid isn’t just about technology, it’s about people. That’s why, over the past two months, we’ve hosted nine local community information sessions — meeting with residents, answering questions, and incorporating their input into the future buildout of New York’s electric infrastructure.

Listening, Engaging, and Building Together

From day one, we’ve prioritized early, often, and inclusive community engagement. Our recent information sessions are just one piece of a broader effort that has included 17 open houses, knocking on nearly 300 doors, tabling at more than 15 local libraries and events, and hundreds of meetings with local municipalities, civic groups, business owners and more. Thank you to all that continue to engage, ask questions, and share input! Your input helps us build a project that meets the needs of the community. As we advance to the next stages of this public process, we remain committed to being a community partner.

A Commitment to Resilience and Sustainability

Earth Week is a reminder that protecting our environment and communities goes hand in hand. Modernizing our electric grid in a manner that prioritizes environmental and community needs will ensure a more resilient, sustainable energy system for generations to come. Together, we can build a stronger, more reliable electric grid.
