The Champlain Hudson Power Express transmission line is now delivering hydropower from Quebec to New York City, powering all of the city's government operations and 20% of its electric load. NYSERDA's purchase of renewable energy credits from Hydro Quebec will cut carbon emissions by 3.7 million tons annually, equivalent to removing 44% of vehicles from NYC streets. This project marks a significant advancement towards a sustainable energy future in New York, showcasing the potential for large-scale renewable energy solutions to combat climate change.
