1.15.21 - New York state wants a green energy ‘superhighway.’ Hydro-Québec says it can help
'Hydro-Québec wants to help New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo build a green energy “superhighway” from Canada to New York City.'
'The provincial utility said it would participate in a solicitation announced by the governor on Jan. 13 for “transmission arteries to bring renewable energy from upstate and Canada” to the Big Apple.'
'Cuomo’s plan is the latest push in a years-long public and private effort to connect more of Canada’s abundant and largely non-emitting electricity with New York City — the most populous city in the United States — and the neighbouring Long Island region. The two regions collectively eat up two-thirds of the state's power demands.'
