Norway’s ABL, part of Oslo-listed energy and marine consultancy ABL Group , has been selected by Blackstone-owned Transmission Developers to provide marine warranty survey (MWS) services for the transport and installation (T&I) of subsea cable segments of the Champlain Hudson Power Express (CHPE) project.

According to ABL, the 339-mile (approximately 545 kilometers) high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission line will deliver hydropower from Canada to New York City, supplying up to 1,250 MW capacity or roughly 20% of NYC’s electricity needs.
