Propel NY Energy Open Houses Continue on Long Island

The New York Power Authority (NYPA) and New York Transco are collaborating to advance Propel NY Energy (Propel NY), one of the most extensive electric transmission projects in nearly a half century. This innovative project proposed across parts of Long Island, New York City and Westchester County and will improve reliability, resiliency, and delivery of clean energy through electric grid improvements.

Prior to construction, which is expected to begin in mid-2026, the project is conducting a series of stakeholder and public engagement activities throughout the 90-mile route. This includes hosting seventeen Community Open Houses in locations along the route in May and June. These events offer an in-depth look at the project from the route to construction techniques to community outreach efforts plus more and provide an open and direct forum for community members to ask questions and share feedback.

Open Houses Continue on Long Island

After a successful start in Westchester, Open Houses continued on Long Island throughout May with events at LIU Post in Brookville (Town of Oyster Bay), Kennedy Memorial Park in Hempstead (Village of Hempstead), Adelphi University (Town of Hempstead), Oceanside School #8 (Town of Hempstead), The Bryant Library in Roslyn (Town of North Hempstead) and 126 Spagnoli Road, Melville (Town of Huntington). In addition, two virtual open houses were held for Nassau and Suffolk Counties, providing attendees the opportunity to view a presentation from project leadership, followed by a question-and-answer period.

Dialogue with community members focused on the specifics of the project route and temporary impacts the local area, as well as clarifying the separation of Propel NY from other proposed area projects. Information shared the next steps which include comprehensive permitting and regulatory reviews.
