Empire State Connector Corp. (ESC) announced it has secured two more Letters of Interest (LOIs) from "major customers" in New York City to procure renewable generation from upstate resources on its proposed 1,000-megawatt high voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission line from Utica to Brooklyn, NY.

"These LOIs provide additional momentum for ESC to finalize its Open Solicitation process and demonstrate the need for the delivery of renewable energy into downstate New York," the company said

Completion of the Open Solicitation is expected to occur in early 2020, following receipt of a Federal Energy Regulatory Commission order authorizing ESC to sell transmission rights and services for this project at negotiated rates.
