Reliable Clean City – Idlewild Project - $1.2 billion investment that began construction in late 2024. The project involves building two new substations and a new electric network to meet the growing demand for power in the area. (Con Edison)

H&SB Transmission Project - multi-phase rebuild of a 23.6-mile electric transmission line that was originally built in 1928. This project aims to enhance electric service reliability by replacing old lattice towers and wires with new steel poles and increasing the line's voltage capacity. (Central Hudson Gas & Electric)

Susquehanna River Transmission Line Rebuild - 3.2-mile transmission line that involves replacing a 95-year-old line and its structures with stronger steel monopoles. The new infrastructure is designed to be more resistant to extreme weather events, improve reliability, and provide a path for future power demand. (PPL Electric Utilities)

PowerOn Project Locations – grid improvements focused on specific towns and areas to strengthen the electric infrastructure and improving reliability by continuing to storm harden the system. Fifteen different cities and towns are listed as part of the overall storm-hardening project. (PSEG Long Island)

Solar Expansion at Pittsburgh International Airport – Major expansion of the airport's solar field. The project will add over 11,000 new solar panels on a closed landfill, which will contribute 4.7 megawatts of clean energy directly to DLC's regional grid. (Duquesne Light Company)

Central East Energy Connect and Smart Path Connect - projects involve rebuilding and upgrading thousands of miles of transmission lines, including those that are decades old. The new lines are designed to handle more power flow and be more resilient to extreme weather. (New York Power Authority)

The Advanced Grid Innovation Laboratory for Energy (AGILe) - AGILe is a state-of-the-art power systems laboratory that is a "digital twin" of New York's electric grid. It allows engineers to test and model new technologies in a virtual, real-time environment without risking the stability of the actual grid. (New York Power Authority)

Zero Outages Initiative – program designed to be a comprehensive, data-driven plan that creates layers of resiliency across Vermont by building on GMP’s successful and proactive undergrounding and storm-hardening of lines, as well as deployment of energy storage through batteries and microgrids in order to achieve an energy system by 2030 where customers experience zero outages. The initiative features customer programs that utilize Accelerated Undergrounding, "Bring Your Own Device" and Powerwall initiatives (Green Mountain Power)

PowerReady Program - offers incentives to offset the costs of installing Level 2 and DC fast chargers for businesses, multi-family dwellings, and government entities. The company has already met its goal to support the installation of thousands of chargers (Orange & Rockland Utilities)

Lincoln to Milton Reliability Project -A project in Sussex County, Delaware, that involved rebuilding nearly six miles of distribution lines and adding a new, five-mile line to provide redundant (backup) electrical feeds. (Delmarva Power)

Smart Meter Rollout – project in the process of installing over 1.5 million smart meters for electric and natural gas customers to enable two-way communication, allowing for remote meter readings, faster outage detection, and more accurate billing. The majority of installations in all 17 NYSEG and RG&E divisions are expected to be completed by the end of 2025, but there will be areas that continue into 2026. (Rochester Gas & Electric Corporation)

Electric Sector Modernization Plan (ESMP) - serves as a roadmap for upgrading the distribution system. This plan aims to improve reliability, increase the adoption of renewable energy, and prepare the grid for increased electrification from EVs and heat pumps. (Unitil)

Kingston Solar Array (New Hampshire) - Unitil's 4.9-megawatt solar array in Kingston, New Hampshire, is one of the largest in the state and is the first to be owned and operated by a regulated distribution utility in New Hampshire. Won the "Project of the Year" award from NH Energy Week. (Unitil)

Section 80 Rebuild Project - $85 million project approved by the Maine Public Utilities Commission (MPUC). The work involves replacing wooden poles along a 22-mile, 115-kilovolt transmission line with stronger steel structures and new conductor wire. (Central Maine Power)

Winthrop-Manchester Circuit Tie – 2024 project created a backup pathway for power to flow from one area to another. Allows crews to restore power to customers more quickly by rerouting electricity around a damaged section of a line, minimizing the duration of power outages during a storm. (Central Maine Power)
