New York Transco and the New York Power Authority (NYPA) awarded pre-construction contracts to three local contractors—Hallen Integrated Construction Services, Haugland Group, and BOND Civil & Utility Construction, Inc.—to support the $3.26 billion Propel NY Energy transmission project. The project involves constructing approximately 90 miles of underground and submarine electric transmission lines across Long Island, Queens, the Bronx, and Westchester County, with construction expected to begin later in 2026 and completion targeted for 2030. The contractors will focus on value engineering and regulatory submissions to advance the project through New York State’s permitting process, ensuring robust community and environmental safeguards. NY Transco, which operates high-voltage transmission facilities and grid infrastructure, and NYPA, the largest state public power organization in the U.S., emphasized the project’s critical role in enhancing New York’s electric grid capacity and delivering reliable, affordable energy to over 8 million consumers. The selection of contractors with long-standing local presence and project experience underscores the project’s commitment to leveraging regional expertise for thorough planning and execution.
