Regulatory and Permitting

NYPA is the largest state public power organization in the nation, operating 16 generating facilities and more than 1,400 circuit-miles of transmission lines. NYPA owns and operates approximately one third of New York’s high voltage power lines. These lines transmit power from NYPA’s three large hydroelectric generation facilities and independent wind power generation facilities, connecting nearly 7,000 megawatts of renewable energy to New York State’s power grid. NYPA uses no tax money or state credit. Our operations are financed through the sale of bonds and revenues earned in large part through sales of electricity.

NYPA seeks the most cost-effective transmission solutions that will bring long-term benefits to New Yorkers. Guiding principles include achievement of more accessible and affordable energy, more reliable and resilient service, and protection of the environment and health by reducing the use of fossil fuels.

NYPA’s impact goes far beyond construction of transmission lines in the form of economic development, educational, and environmental justice benefits for the communities in which it operates. Strategic priorities include building a project portfolio that balances system planning, returns with and wider state objectives, and helping accelerate New York State’s most critical transmission projects in support of the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act goals.

  • The Design Criteria for Developer Connection to the New York Power Authority Transmission System (DCDC) is a guide for Developers interconnecting to the New York Power Authority (NYPA) transmission system.
    • New York Power Authority (NYPA) does not have a service territory or a statutory obligation to serve load. Thus, NYPA is not required to build new transmission projects to meet the needs of load.  

    NYPA has no distribution or low voltage facilities and therefore NYPA has no local planning requirements.  

    NYPA only undertakes transmission projects as authorized by its governing statute (New York Public Authorities Law §§ 1000 et. Seq.) at the behest of and in coordination with other Transmission Owners  to meet New York State electric reliability and economic needs.  

    When a potential NYPA transmission project is identified, the facilities are planned according to standards and criteria set forth by the New York Independent System Operator, the New York State Reliability Council, the Northeast Power Coordinating Council and the North American Electric Reliability Corporation. 

    The Power Authority belongs to the Northeast Power Coordinating Council, formed to promote the reliability and efficiency of interconnected power systems throughout the northeastern United States and central and eastern Canada. Members of this regional reliability council include transmission providers, transmission customers, power pools and independent system operators in Northeastern North America.

    According to the FERC Order 717, the New York Power Authority must post its implementation procedures on the internet to demonstrate its compliance with the Standards of Conduct. View: NYPA’s Procedure for Implementation of FERC Standards of Conduct
