Concerned Glen Head community gathers for education session on Propel NY Energy project

Glen Head community residents expressed concerns at a public meeting on Thursday, Jan. 29, about the proposed Propel NY Energy project, a $3.2 billion initiative intended to improve the region’s electrical system, which would include installing 58 miles of underground power transmission lines throughout Nassau County.

The project,  which is a collaboration of the New York Power Authority and New York Transco, a New York developer, owner and operator of bulk electrical transmission facilities, would begin in Westchester and the Bronx and cross portions of Queens, adding miles of underwater electrical stations, predominantly in the Hempstead Harbour and Long Island Sound.
