NextEra Energy Transmission plans New York Renewable Connect offshore transmission project

NextEra Energy Transmission New York, Inc, a subsidiary of NextEra Energy, Inc., has submitted multiple proposals, collectively the New York Renewable Connect, in response to the New York Independent System Operator's (NYISO) Long Island Offshore Wind Public Policy Transmission Need. The proposals help New York meet its offshore wind energy goals by reinforcing the transmission grid on Long Island and into Southeastern New York.

The transmission proposals submitted accommodate varying levels of Long Island offshore wind injections. Each proposal has been designed to ensure reliable and cost-effective delivery of offshore wind energy for New York electric customers. The proposals also include cost containment provisions that minimize New York customer financial exposure.
