History

The Long Island Lighting Company (LILCO) was the previous electrical power company and natural gas utility for Long Island, New York, from 1911 until 1998. It was succeeded by the Long Island Power Authority (LIPA), which was created to acquire the LILCO's assets and securities after the cancellation of the Shoreham Nuclear Power Plant in 1985. A second LIPA (a wholly owned subsidiary of the first) acquired LILCO's transmission and distribution system later, in 1998.

Until January 1, 2014, LIPA owned and operated the electrical transmission and distribution systems of its service area (most of Long Island), but since the call for privatization of electric companies in the US, LIPA's activities were progressively handed to PSEG, a New Jersey electrical utility company which was selected by LIPA in 2011 to take over management. Today, LIPA is the owner of the Transmission & Distribution infrastructure, but PSEG Long Island manages and operates them.
