Developer Resources for the Public Policy Transmission Need

Learn about potential interconnection sites, view developer resources, and ask Con Edison questions on the PPTN process. For more information, please register through Con Edison’s New York City Public Policy Transmission Need Work Management Hub.

Brooklyn Clean Energy Hub

  • Location: Hudson Avenue and Marshall Street
  • Description: The Brooklyn Clean Energy Hub is a transformative infrastructure project that will deliver large amounts of increasingly renewable power to southeastern Brooklyn and contributes to the continued high reliability of Con Edison’s energy grid. Electrically located to accommodate up to 6,000MW of incremental clean energy generation with minimal system modifications.
  • Offshore wind capacity: 1,500 MW; expandable to 6,000 MW
  • Transmission connections: Interconnection to three other transmission substations.
  • Additional benefits: Base project is firm and approved. Large load area. Provides multiple transmission interties.

Staten Island Clean Energy Hub

  • Location: Victory Boulevard
  • Description: The Staten Island Energy Hub is a strategically positioned solution that enables developers to co-locate converter stations on the same property as the expansion of an existing transmission substation. This hub not only enhances the integration of offshore wind energy into New York City’s grid but also offers the possibility to unlock Staten Island’s clean energy potential. The final electrical configurations will determine the precise increase in clean energy generation injected into the grid.
  • Offshore wind capacity: 1,500 MW; expandable to 3,000 MW.
  • Transmission connections: Various options.
  • Capabilities: Allows for siting of clean energy critical infrastructure, such as HVDC convertor stations, high-density battery storage, and other transmission substations.
  • Additional benefits: Avoids HVDC feeders in the Narrows. Minimize developer AC interconnection feeders.

Manhattan Clean Energy Hub

  • Location: West 28 Street
  • Description: The Manhattan Energy Hub stands as a pivotal energy infrastructure, strategically situated within a high load area. The Hub will not only meet the current energy needs of the city but also proactively support its future load growth.
  • Offshore wind capacity: 1,500 MW; expandable to 4,500 MW
  • Transmission connections: Interconnection to three other transmission substations possible.
  • Additional benefits: Large load area. Provides multiple transmission interties.

Eastern Queens Clean Energy Hub

  • Location: Brinkerhoff Avenue
  • Description: A strategically located solution; the Eastern Queens Energy is co-located on the same property as load-serving substations. This solution accommodates the seamless interconnection of Off-Shore Wind (OSW) generation into the service territory while addressing local transmission constraints. The solution enhances the resiliency of the Brooklyn and Queens region while supporting the anticipated load growth associated with electrification.
  • Offshore wind capacity: 2,100 MW.
  • Transmission connections: Interconnection to three transmission substations.
  • Additional benefits: Location provides for approaches of offshore wind feeders from north or south.

Astoria Clean Energy Hub

  • Location: 21st Avenue, Queens
  • Description: The Astoria Energy Hub is an opportunity to positively impact a historically disadvantaged community (Queens Asthma Alley). Strategically located on a former fossil fuel site, this hub not only accelerates the integration of offshore wind power into New York City's grid, but also paves the way for retiring fossil fuel plants.
  • Offshore wind capacity: 1,5000 MW; expandable to 3,000MW.
  • Transmission connections: Various options.
  • Additional benefits: Large load area and site is accessible via the Long Island Sound.
