BILL NUMBER:S5861 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the public authorities law, in relation to authorizing the power authority of the state of New York and the Long Island power authority to participate in public-private transmission projects to improve the state's electric transmission grid Purpose: This bill would allow the creation of a public-private partnership between the State's public utilities - the Power Authority of the State of New York (NYPA) and the Long Island Power Authority (LIPA) - and the State's private transmission owners, for the sole purpose of jointly developing, constructing and owning transmission facilities in New York State. This partnership would be in the form of a New York Transmission Company (Transco) that would pursue new transmission projects that would enhance the current capabilities of the bulk power system within New York State. Summary of Provisions: Section 1 of the bill would provide legislative findings. Section 2 would amend the "declaration of policy" in NYPA's enabling statute.
