Transmission Developers develops unique clean energy transmission projects in an environmentally responsible manner.
Our projects use proven high-voltage direct current (HVDC) cable technology to link trapped generation resources such as wind, hydro and other renewables with markets that are seeking new sources of clean power. By installing our projects underground or underwater we avoid the negative impacts of overhead transmission. These buried lines increase the electric grid’s safety and reliability, while providing hardened infrastructure that is less susceptible to damage from natural disasters.
Transmission Developers is backed by Blackstone Inc., a global leader in alternative asset management.
The company is currently focused on developing two projects in the Northeast region of the U.S.: (1) the Champlain Hudson Power Express, a fully buried transmission line from the U.S.-Canadian border to New York City, and (2) the New England Clean Power Link, a fully buried transmission line located in Vermont that will serve the New England market.
Transmission Developers is currently constructing the 1250 MW transmission line, the Champlain Hudson Power Express, that will power 20% of NYC and will be operational, on time, in May of 2026. The team has also developed the permitted New England Clean Power Link in Vermont.
TDI DevCo is the development arm of Transmission Developers.
The team is specialized in identifying unique transmission projects and opportunity in the continental US, and capitalizing on the deeply talented team assembled for construction of the 339-mile-long Champlain Hudson Power Express. The Executive and Senior Management teams at Transmission Developers have 365+ years of aggregate experience in the development, financing, construction, engineering, and operations of energy infrastructure.
