New York Transmission Company - Energy Highway

Transmission to Un-bottle Staten Island Generation
Project to Address Potential Indian Point/Downstate Generation Retirement
Project Description:
Un-bottling Staten Island generation resources will occur in two phases. Phase 1 would mitigate a
contingency within New York City by separating a common pipe double leg feeder into two separate
feeders with independent positions at the Goethals and Linden Substations. Phase 2 increases
transmission capacity by adding forced cooling to existing feeders between Goethals, Gowanus, and
Farragut. The Project would be located in Staten Island and Brooklyn, New York and Union County
(Linden), New Jersey. This project is located entirely in NYISO Zone J.
Project Size:
Phase 1: The length of the feeder, operating voltage level (345 kV) and ratings would not change.
However the cables will be able to carry an additional of 280MW.
Phase 2: The length of the feeders, operating voltage level (345 kV) would not change but the ratings
would increase by 200 MW.
Total Project Size: 480 MW
Terminal Stations and required upgrades:
The terminal stations are:
1) Goethals 345 kV substation where a bus position needs to be established for the feeder separation.
2) Linden 345 kV substation where a bus position needs to be established for the feeder separation.
