        总部位于丹麦的电力电缆制造与安装企业 NKT确认，其已与客户——黑石集团（Blackstone）旗下公司 TDI以及魁北克水电公司（Hydro-Québec） 共同参加了位于美国纽约市举行的 400千伏高压直流Champlain Hudson Power Express（CHPE）输电线路官方启用仪式。

        这条互联线路全长超过600公里（372英里），从加拿大魁北克省延伸至纽约市中心，是推动纽约市能源系统转型的重要一步。该项目能够输送足够的加拿大水电，输送的水电最高可满足纽约市约20%的电力需求，约等于一百万户家庭的供电总量。

        2022年中标项目后，NKT全权承接了这项套400 千伏高压直流电缆系统的turnkey project，涵盖工程设计、电缆生产及全线施工。

        NKT总裁兼首席执行官 Claes Westerlind 表示：“Champlain Hudson Power Express的落成，对NKT以及纽约市可再生能源转型而言都是一个重要里程碑。它体现了紧密协作和长期合作伙伴关系的价值。能够与TDI、Hydro-Québec及其他合作伙伴携手完成这一重要项目，为美国能源转型作出贡献，我们深感荣幸。”

        这条输电线路于今年5月提前实现商业运营。项目工程量庞大，需在多样地貌环境下开展大规模陆上、海底敷设作业。施工区域覆盖尚普兰湖（Lake Champlain）、哈德逊河（Hudson River） 和 哈莱姆河（Harlem River）。

        此前，NKT已完成加拿大一侧的电网接入工程，实现与纽约市之间的完整输电连接。该项目经过多年规划、开发和安装建设后顺利投运，于2026年6月16日在纽约市举行官方启用仪式。

        这项总投资达 60亿美元的Champlain Hudson Power Express（CHPE） ，每年最高可向纽约市输送1250兆瓦加拿大可再生水电，为纽约市能源转型作出重要贡献。

        TDI首席执行官 Justin Sauber 表示：“如果没有世界一流的电缆技术，就不可能建成这样一条能够改变数百万纽约市民生活的世界级输电线路。NKT从项目早期开发阶段到后续测试和调试全过程的深度参与合作，对CHPE项目的成功至关重要。我谨代表整个TDI团队，感谢NKT为纽约市这一具有里程碑意义的重要时刻所作出的贡献。”

NKT has confirmed its participation in the official inauguration of the 400 kV HVDC Champlain Hudson Power Express (CHPE) transmission line in New York City in the United States, with its customers, Transmission Developers (TDI), a Blackstone company, and Hydro-Québec.

The interconnector spans more than 600 kilometers (372 miles) from Québec, Canada, to the heart of New York City, representing what is considered to be a major step in transforming the city’s energy system capable of supplying enough Canadian hydropower to cover up to 20% of electricity demand.This is equivalent to power approximately one million households. 

Following the contract award in 2022, the Denmark-headquartered firm executed the turnkey project that comprised engineering, manufacturing as well as installation of the 400 kV HVDC power cable system.

Claes Westerlind, President and CEO of NKT, commented: “The inauguration of the Champlain Hudson Power Express is a tremendous milestone for NKT and the transition to renewable energy in New York City.

“It reflects the value of strong collaboration and long-term partnerships, and it has been a privilege to work with TDI, Hydro-Québec and our partners to realise this important project contributing to the energy transition in the United States.”

The transmission line, which reached commercial operation ahead of schedule in May, involved extensive manufacturing as well as large-scale onshore and offshore installation works across multiple environments, including Lake Champlain and the Hudson and Harlem rivers.

NKT previously completed the grid connection on the Canadian side of the border, enabling a fully integrated transmission link to New York City.The commissioning follows years of planning, development and installation, and was marked at the official inauguration event held in New York City on June 16, 2026.

The $6-billion Champlain Hudson Power Express is now capable of transmitting up to 1,250 megawatts of renewable hydropower from Canada to New York City as a substantial contribution to the city’s energy transition.

Justin Sauber, CEO of TDI, highlighted: “You cannot build a world-class transmission line that transforms the lives of millions of New Yorkers without world-class cable. NKT’s partnership on CHPE, from the early days of development through testing and commissioning, was critical to the success of CHPE.

“On behalf of the entire TDI team, I want to thank NKT for its contributions to this landmark moment for New York City.”
