LS Power Grid New York - Central East Energy Connect Project

TPSX has successfully secured a sole-sourced opportunity to support Siemens on a project in Schenectady, NY. This project through LS Power - a development, investment, and operating company, will serve as a large grid strengthening and expansion for the New York Power Authority (NYPA).

“The Central East Energy Connect project will improve electric transmission facilities within existing utility corridors between the towns of Marcy and New Scotland. These upgrades will help relieve bottlenecks on the New York power grid, support renewable energy, replace aging infrastructure to improve reliability, and provide many other benefits to businesses and residents across New York State”
