The Neptune Cable is a 500kV and 660 MW[1] high-voltage direct current submarine power cable between Sayreville, New Jersey and Levittown, New York on Long Island.[2] It carries 22 percent of Long Island's electricity.[3] It was developed by Anbaric Development Partners.
The cable was constructed following the Long Island Power Authority's determination that importing electricity would make more sense economically than constructing new power generating stations on Long Island.
The cable is managed by Fairfield, Connecticut-based PowerBridge, LLC.[1]
