1. How many MWs of capacity remain available on CHPE?
Transmission rights pertaining to the entire capacity of the CHPE transmission line are available for purchase during the Open Solicitation process. There has been no previous allocation of transmission rights related to CHPE.
2. Is it possible for renewable energy projects located in Upstate New York to bid into this solicitation? If so, how would the projects interconnect to the line?
Yes, renewable energy projects located in upstate New York are eligible to purchase transmission service on the Project and, therefore, can participate in the Open Solicitation. However, the renewable energy project would be responsible for securing the transmission service (and any associated approvals) necessary to deliver the power from the renewable resource to the converter station located in Quebec.
