The New York Power Authority board has approved spending $484 million to replace the 86-mile Moses-Adirondack transmission line.
The project is scheduled for completion in 2023, NYPA said.
The project was approved as part of NYPA's 2020 operating budget.
"Though consistently well-maintained, the line is over 70 years old and has exceeded its service life. Rebuilding the line will lead to long-term benefits and support future upgrades in voltage, which would allow for greater transmission of energy from renewable sources developed in Northern New York," NYA said on their website.
The 230 kV Moses-Adirondack 1 and 2 lines extend approximately 86 miles from the St. Lawrence Power Project’s Robert Moses Power Dam Switchyard in the Town of Massena to the Adirondack Substation in the Town of Croghan in Lewis County.
