Clean Path NY will strengthen New York's electric grid and connect communities to renewable, reliable energy.
Clean Path NY is a nation-leading renewable generation, transmission and energy storage project. Comprised of more than 20 wind and solar generation projects located in-state and a new 175-mile, underground transmission line, Clean Path NY will deliver more than 7.5 million MWh of emissions-free electricity every year—enough to power more than 1.5 million New York households.
Clean Path NY will reduce fossil fuel-fired generation from New York’s electric grid by more than 20% annually, prevent 49 million tons of CO2 emissions by 2040 and create more than 8,300 good-paying in-state jobs.
Clean Path NY is a landmark public-private collaboration between New York Power Authority, Invenergy, and energyRe.
