The HVDC system would run from the New York Power Authority’s Plattsburgh substation in Beekmantown, Clinton County, to Vermont Electric Power Co.’s New Haven substation in Addison County. The New York portion of the project includes 6.7 miles of buried HVDC cable from a converter station to the shoreline of Lake Champlain at Point Au Roche State Park and about 4.9 miles underwater on the New York side of Lake Champlain.
The Vermont section of the project will include 35.2 miles of underwater HVDC cable, a converter station and 13.3 miles of buried line to the New Haven substation.
The project will also need approval from the Vermont Public Service Board.
