At the end of September 2022, futurezone.at reported that a power line of more than 600 kilometres in length will soon be providing for a ­significant share of New York City’s electricity requirements. The line is to carry electricity from hydroelectric power plants belonging to the Canadian energy company Hydro Quebec, one of the largest hydroelectric power producers in the world. The operators decided to lay the cables entirely underground and under water. Wherever possible, ­power lines have been routed along the course of rivers, lakes and other waterways. Supplying a metropolis of millions with so much sustainably­-produced energy is expected to result in a significant ­reduction in harmful emissions. The high-voltage power line, known as the Champlain Hudson Power Express (CHPE), is expected to be fully operational by 2026.
