Master electrical transmission plan for New York City

"In 2008, NYCEDC and its consultant Charles Rivers Associates launched a major new initiative to fill the transmission planning void created by deregulation. The main objective of the study was to identify and analyze potential new transmission projects with the potential to reduce costs to consumers and encourage economic development, and to compare transmission options versus other potential supply- and demand-side alternatives. The study was conducted in coordination with the local electric utilities, state regulatory agencies for New York and New Jersey, and state and regional agencies responsible for managing the power grid."
