Hera Power Link is the New York State portion of a proposed transmission system connecting one or more offshore wind (OSW) generators located in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of New York and New Jersey to the transmission system of The Consolidated Edison Company of New York (Con Edison) in Brooklyn, New York.

From Staten Island, the submarine cable system will cross the New York Harbor and connect to the Con Edison system at either its proposed Clean Energy Hub or its existing Gowanus Substation in Brooklyn. The Application provides extensive information about the project, the proposed route and location, the nature of potential impacts stemming from its construction and operation, design features and construction practices that will avoid or minimize any impacts and alternative routes evaluated by Anbaric.
