What you need to know
The U.S. must build over 10,000 miles of new power lines and launch 6,000 clean energy projects in the next decade to meet our climate goals. This transition isn’t just about protecting the environment — it’s about securing New York’s future.
A modern, expanded power grid is essential to delivering clean energy to homes and businesses, protecting our air, water, and land while strengthening energy independence. These investments will create jobs, boost local economies, and reverse decades of underinvestment, particularly in small towns and rural areas.
In New York, 80% of our energy infrastructure was built before the 1980s. That means we’re relying on outdated systems to power a 21st-century economy. The Propel NY project will change that — upgrading our grid with underground transmission lines that will meet growing demand by delivering safe, clean, and affordable energy across the New York City and Long Island area.
Updating our infrastructure isn’t optional — it’s essential to ensure a resilient, reliable, and affordable energy system that supports New Yorkers and our way of life. Now is the time to act.
