The $6 billion privately funded project, built by Transmission Developers and Hydro-Québec, could eventually supply up to 20% of NYC's electricity demand using Quebec's abundant hydropower. The second outage, caused by a damaged cable section on the US side, was still ongoing as of July 22. Experts note startup issues are common for new infrastructure, and New York's grid was not yet relying on CHPE for reliability planning. A longer-term concern is Quebec's three-year drought, which could limit available hydropower even once the line is fully operational. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
