We are pleased to announce a noteworthy advancement in our collective pursuit to advance the American energy landscape: our work towards the Champlain Hudson Power Express (CHPE) Astoria converter station has reached significant progress of work and we celebrated the Topping Out for the station today on March 27, 2024. We are proud to have contributed our expertise towards the construction of the Astoria converter station, supporting Kiewit’s activities in New York City region as part of their 146 miles (235 km) of on-land construction.

This milestone signifies a pivotal step forward to supplying the New York power grid with 1,250 MW of renewable energy and progressing New York towards their environmental goals. Under the guidance of Derek Wallace, PMP, C.Tech, Director of Projects, and oversight of Colin Martin, Sr. Project Manager & Mike Waugh, Sr. Manager, Construction, our team continues to work diligently to achieve important milestones while upholding the highest standards of quality and safety reflecting EnergyLink and Kiewit’s commitment to empowering the future of New York’s energy grid.

Supporting the success of our partners’ projects is another demonstration of how EnergyLink is connecting you to a better way.

As previously announced, EnergyLink International was chosen to work with a team of leading companies on a clean energy transmission project in support of innovating the American energy grid, using high voltage direct current (HVDC). Today, as part of a major milestone update, EnergyLink’s on-site scope of work has begun in support of Kiewit in their construction activities towards the Champlain Hudson Power Express (CHPE).

As a a recognized authority in construction, Kiewit was selected to lead on-land construction activity for the entirety of CHPE HVDC route, of 146 miles (235 km) of on-land infrastructure for the 339-mile (546 km) transmission line, as well as the construction of a converter station in Astoria, Queens. Due to our extensive experience and strong reputation for delivering sound solutions to complex challenges, EnergyLink was chosen to support Kiewit in this endeavor by fabricating and installing custom designed envelopes to house the converter station processing equipment. Derek Wallace, PMP, C.Tech (Director of Projects) continues to lead our team to achieve milestones on schedule while Mike Waugh (Sr. Manager, Construction) will oversee the highest quality of work while ensuring safe installation of all structural steel, custom-envelopes, HVAC systems, plumbing, fire suppression and finish systems for a true turnkey experience.

CHPE is New York’s first Tier 4 project as part of the state’s Large-Scale Renewables Program. Tier 4 projects aim to responsibly deliver affordable renewable energy to New York City, the largest energy load region in America. With an energy grid consisting of nearly 90% carbon-fired electricity and geographic isolation from renewable power generation projects, CHPE represents a significant step forward towards achieving New York’s goal of transitioning to a zero-emissions grid by 2040. Upon completion, CHPE will deliver 1,250 MW of renewable energy from Quebec – enough to power over a million homes and retire 14 out of the 15 peaking generating plants in New York City.

Supporting leading companies in bringing projects to life is another example of how EnergyLink is connecting you to a better way.

Earlier this year, we had celebrated the first quarter milestone on a custom designed acoustic building project in Omaha, Nebraska. EnergyLink is now proud to share that we have made significant strides, with construction now over 60% completion.

Our team, led by Mike Waugh – Manager, Construction, and Colin Martin – Project Manager, has demonstrated unwavering commitment and dedication to delivering the highest quality work in the face of harsh weather, complex ground conditions and logistical setbacks. We take pride in our team’s ability to overcome these obstacles with minimal deviation from the original timeline without incident.

Chris Giesbrecht, Engineering Manager, has custom designed the building and HVAC system, backed by his extensive experience and EnergyLink International’s acoustic performance guarantee. The team has successfully installed and integrated two units of the HVAC system within the envelope of the building, a crucial step towards exceeding our client’s noise management goals.
