New York imports more Canadian electricity via CHPE line

The U.S. Energy Information Administration reports that New York imported more electricity from Canada after the Champlain Hudson Power Express transmission line began commercial operations.

• On July 3, 2026, NYISO imported 52 GWh from Canada, with some power flowing on the new 1,250 MW CHPE line between Québec and New York City.
• A heat wave drove NYISO peak demand to 31,097 MW on July 2 at 7:00 PM; the article also notes CHPE was expected to meet up to 20% of New York City’s power demand and that the line was taken offline again on July 4 for repairs.
