(Reuters) – A new 300-megawatt (MW) Con Edison Rainey-to-Corona transmission line, which can power 240,000 average-sized homes in New York City’s Queens borough, has been energized, New York Governor Kathy Hochul said on Wednesday. <\/p>\n

The six-mile-long (10 km-long) line is part of the Reliable Clean City projects that will add 900 MW of transmission capacity across the city by 2025, retiring several fossil-fuel power plants used during peak demand hours and meeting rising clean energy demand.<\/p>\n

The work in Queens accounts for $275 million of the $800 million Con Edison is investing in these projects.\u00a0Con Edison is a unit of New York energy company Consolidated Edison Inc.<\/p>\n

The other projects include transmission lines from Gowanus to Greenwood and Goethals to Greenwood.<\/p>\n

“With this critical new transmission line, we are enhancing and upgrading New York City’s electric grid and enabling the continued development of renewable energy,” Governor Hochul\u00a0said.<\/p>\n

The projects are needed for reliability in 2023 and 2025 and to address deficiencies in two of\u00a0Con Edison’s transmission load areas because of the retirement or unavailability of older, air-polluting power plants, the governor’s office said in a press release.<\/p>\n
