In New York, National Grid is investing around $21 billion between now and 2029 to ensure that energy gets to where it’s needed the most.

Among those investments is the $4 billion upstate upgrade, which comprises more than 70 transmission enhancement projects across upstate New York.

Rudy Wynter, outgoing New York president of National Grid, discussed the utility’s investments and recent upstate rate hike request with Capital Tonight’s Susan Arbetter.
