The project extends 355 miles from Canada to New York City.
Plans call for two, 5-inch diameter cables to be placed underwater or underground. The submarine portions of the preferred route include Lake Champlain and the Hudson River between Albany and Manhattan.
To avoid environmentally sensitive areas such as the PCB clean-up site in the Hudson River, the line will be taken out of the Champlain Canal North of Fort Edward and buried along Canadian Pacific and CSX rail right of ways for 73 miles, re-entering the Hudson River south of Albany below Selkirk.
The power will be delivered to a converter station that will be built in Yonkers, New York. The station will operate below all federal, state, and local limits for noise and be housed in buildings designed to blend in with the neighboring buildings.
