The New York Regional Interconnect (NYRI) is a power transmission project being proposed by a group of Canadian investors. The high voltage DC line would run from Marcy in Herkimer County through the Leatherstocking Region, into the Catskills, the Scenic Delaware Valley and terminates in Rock Tavern passing through some of New York's most valuable cultural, environmental and recreational resources. This HVDC transmission project would carry 500 KV (1200 MW) on 130 foot overhead towers along a 190 mile route and communities would not be able to connect to the line and benefit from the energy transmitted by this project. According to NYRI's application the impact on New York state includes the following:
- Electric prices in Upstate New York would rise
- The route travels through 7 counties, 1 city, 7 villages and 30 towns
- It crosses scenic byways and historic trails
- Spans 154 rivers and streams and 64 trout streams
- Tranverses 5 state regulated wetlands and 37 Federal wetlands
- Passes over 66 historic properties and 265 archeological sites
- Travels through the Mongaup Wildlife Management area
- Impacts the Wild and Scenic Delaware River Management Area
