Hydro-Quebec wants to help New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo build a green energy “superhighway” from Canada to New York City.
The provincial utility said it would participate in a solicitation announced by the governor on Jan. 13 for “transmission arteries to bring renewable energy from upstate and Canada” to the Big Apple.
During his “State of the State” address Wednesday, Cuomo unveiled plans for a 400-kilometre, $2.5-billion “Green Energy Transmission Superhighway,” part of a larger strategy to foster a “green economy” in the Empire State.
The governor characterized the state transmission grid as ‘antiquated,” and said it was leading to “bottlenecks,” which he argued were ultimately passed on to New Yorkers as “congestion costs” on their utility bills.
