NYSEG Completes 13-Mile Transmission Line Upgrade in the US, Saving Over $2 Million

en.Wedoany.com Reported - New York State Electric & Gas (NYSEG), a distribution company under Avangrid, a U.S. subsidiary of the Iberdrola Group, has completed the upgrade of approximately 13 miles of transmission lines in Allegany and Steuben counties, New York.

The project, known as the "Line 932" project, was completed three months ahead of schedule and within the initial budget, saving customers over $2 million. It is also the first project completed under NYSEG's "Powering New York" initiative, which aims to enhance grid reliability and capacity while supporting New York State's energy goals.

The project strengthened the reliability and resilience of the local grid by replacing 58 aging structures along a 12.8-mile line. These improvements will facilitate the installation of a power flow control device near the Bennett Substation in the City of Hornell, enabling more efficient voltage regulation and increased transmission system capacity.

Upgrading this infrastructure will also help connect existing and future generation facilities, supporting New York State's energy and economic development.
