The New York State Public Service Commission gave the go-ahead to PSEG Long Island to begin construction on the Western Nassau transmission line project.
The Western Nassau transmission line project is a seven-mile transmission line that will provide a more reliable electric system in Western Nassau County, N.Y.
“Ensuring the reliability of Long Island’s transmission system is a priority,” Commission Chair John Rhodes said. “This new line will reinforce the electric transmission system in the Southwest Nassau Area, improve the reliability of service to Long Islanders, and enable the local electric grid to meet applicable reliability standards.”
The current electric transmission systems feeding Southwest Nassau County do not meet reliability standards. To address this, PSEG-LI proposed adding a new 138-kilovolt (kV) underground transmission line. This would be a second electric transmission circuit between the East Garden City substation in Uniondale and the Valley Stream substation in Lynbrook.
The project is located within the Town of Hempstead and would go through the Villages of Garden City, Malverne, and Lynbrook. It would be built primarily within the public roadway rights-of-way. The entire project will be located underground except for portions located at the East Garden City and Valley Stream substations. PSEG-LI will obtain the necessary easements and permissions to do the construction.
