CHPE (Champlain Hudson Power Express) is a power transmission project connecting renewable power from Quebec, Canada to the New York City metro area. The link will enable the delivery of clean, renewable hydropower between Canada and New York, contributing to New York’s Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA), which aims for the state to be powered by 70% renewable energy by 2030. CHPE is expected to decrease CO2 emissions by an average of 3.9 million metric tons per year, equivalent to removing 44% of passenger vehicles from New York City.

Both announcements signal the state’s commitment to reach its goal of 70% renewable electricity by 2030.
