Marcy South is a high voltage power line in New York that runs from Fraser Substation in Delaware County to Marcy Substation in Oneida County. It was constructed amid heavy controversy in the late 1980s by the Power Authority of the State of New York.

History
The Power Authority of the State of New York announced plans to deliver hydroelectric power from Canada to the New York City region in 1982.
It became fully operational on June 1, 1988.
Controversy
The power line met with vigorous and sometimes highly contentious and violent opposition from local property owners from its proposition to its planning and surveying, and even its construction.
Future plans
Since its construction, other projects including a high-voltage DC line have been proposed for the same route.
