Alternative #6 Replace Marcy-South w/ 765 KV 5000MW Line

http://www.aep.com/about/i765project/default.asp

Build a 765 KV line AC line parallel to the existing Marcy-South line. Based on info from the above link, this new line would probably be able to carry 4000-5000 Megawatts. Take down the old Marcy-South Line and give the right-of-way back to the property owners.

It would be best to replace the existing line w/ the new one on the same location; however, it may be that they can't shut down the existing line for replacement.

This alternative may be 1/3 the cost of the NYRI project since the AC-DC converter stations wouldn't have to be built?
