Inghams-Rotterdam
Eastern New York
National Grid’s Inghams-Rotterdam project includes rebuilding approximately 65 miles of existing 115kV transmission line and associated work to build, reconfigure and upgrade substations.
Project Quick Facts
- Inghams-Rotterdam serves four counties: Fulton, Herkimer, Montgomery, and Schenectady.
- The project travels through the city of Johnstown, and towns of Amsterdam, Canajoharie, Ephratah, Florida, Johnstown, Manheim, Minden, Mohawk, Oppenheim, Palatine, Perth, St. Johnsville, Princetown, and Rotterdam.
- The project will replace existing 115kV wire and structures in the right-of-way. Additional easements may be needed for the construction and operation of the line.
- Also included are access roads upgrades, and technologies to improve response time and decrease maintenance costs.
- The project will include the addition of a new substation at Saltsman Road. No additional easements are needed for the construction and operation of the new substation.
Current Activities
The project entered the permitting phase with the submittal of the Article VII Application to the New York Public Service Commission in April 2025. We will continue to review transmission corridors for project design and construction plan development, including field walkdowns with National Grid staff and contractors.
Permitting and Participation
This project will require Article VII permitting to proceed. National Grid submitted the Article VII Application - Case no. 25-T-0262 - to the Public Service Commission (PSC) on April 25, 2025. Copies the Application were provided to officials, regulators, agencies, and public repositories such as town halls and libraries. The Application is also available on the PSC website. For more information about permitting, please see our Project FAQ page.
The permitting process includes opportunities for public involvement and comment from permitting through construction. To contact National Grid with a question or comment, you may reach us by phone at 877-551-4743 or [email protected].
Once National Grid submits its Article VII Application to the Public Service Commission, interested persons who wish to participate as parties in this case may file for party status. This may be done through the Commission’s website. Further instructions will become available here once the Application is submitted.
