Long Island, New York City and Westchester need to improve the reliability and resiliency of our energy grid to ensure capacity during high demand times. Our summers are getting hotter, and storms are increasing in intensity. We need to upgrade our antiquated transmission infrastructure to ensure that energy is delivered reliably and in a timely manner. The Propel NY Energy transmission project is part of the solution, strengthening the electric grid with increased transmission capacity and helping inject more clean energy into the statewide grid—while reducing our dependence on dirty fossil fuels that contribute to climate change. This project is critical to ensure New York’s interconnectedness throughout the state.

I am writing as a New York resident to support Propel NY Energy. This project is necessary for our sustainable energy future and an important project to modernize our energy grid. Climate change is here and is impacting New York. We have documented increasingly hotter summers, increased rainfall events, rising sea levels, shoreline flooding and stronger storms. At the same time, New York's energy demand is growing. We need a modern grid to ensure we have enough power, especially as we electrify homes, vehicles, and businesses. We need to upgrade our transmission grid to meet our increased energy needs and ensure we can deliver energy reliably to downstate homes.
Propel NY Energy will help create a sustainable, reliable grid and deliver clean energy where it’s needed most. This project will also protect public health and the environment by reducing our reliance on outdated, polluting fossil fuel plants. Modernizing our energy grid is a smart investment that will lower costs, create jobs, and boost energy security for all New Yorkers. I urge the NYS Public Service Commission to approve the Propel NY Energy project.
