About
New York State Electric & Gas Corporation (NYSEG) is in the planning stages of a significant, multi-year electric transmission line project, which we call the Malone Transmission Rebuild Project, consisting of the reconstruction of the 115 kilovolt (kV) line between the NYPA Willis Substation and the National Grid Malone Substation in Franklin County.
As part of our commitment to provide safe and reliable service to all our customers, NYSEG, in conjunction with our parent company Avangrid, is updating the electric transmission system in our service areas. While we are investing in upgrades to meet New York State’s energy goals and the community’s growing energy demands, we are working closely with our neighbors to ensure that all improvements are performed safely and with minimal disruption to the environment and the community.

Project Scope & Benefits
The Malone Transmission Rebuild – Line 910 project will help New York State meet its energy goals.
This project intends to rebuild NYSEG’s 115kV L910 between the NYPA Willis Substation and National Grid Malone Substation in a single circuit H frame & monopole configuration with light duty steel poles with approximately 1.5 times larger conductor size and allowable capacity.
Regional Benefits
- The Project would remove bottlenecks on the local transmission system and allow existing and projected future generation facilities to connect to the power grid, thus helping New York State meet its energy goals.
- The Project, as well as the development that the Project would help enable, would generate numerous ancillary economic benefits to our community partners.
- The most direct infusion to the local economy would come from employment opportunities associated with construction of the Project and of future generation facilities. Worker income would be spent in local communities on consumer goods and services such as housing, healthcare, and food, while property taxes would directly support the communities in which the Project and future renewable generation facilities are located.
- The upgrades would improve the reliability and resiliency of the entire transmission system, ensuring the maintenance of safe and reliable power distribution.

About the Permitting Process
NYSEG is actively developing the Project to avoid and minimize negative impacts to the community and the environment. Early Project planning efforts have included the completion of resource assessments to clarify important planning considerations such as streams and wetlands; soil characteristics; cultural resources; and sensitive plant and animal species. Active regulatory coordination, reviews and permitting efforts are under way for initial phases of the Project. NYSEG will seek reviews, consultations and/or permits from the following federal and state administrative agencies for the Project:
- NYS Public Service Commission
- U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
- Federal Aviation Administration
- NYS Department of Environmental Conservation
- NYS Department of Transportation
- Other permits as may be necessary
