Next-generation high-Tc superconducting wires debut in the power grid
http://ptonline.aip.org/journals/doc/PHTOAD-ft/vol_61/iss_1/30_1.shtml

Electric power companies are demonstrating the capacity of new
flexible wire to deliver more current in less space and to limit
power surges.

January 2008, page 30

Somewhere under Albany, New York, 350 meters of chilled
high-temperature superconducting cable is delivering electricity at
three to five times the capacity of copper.

Downstate, below the bustling streets of New York City, Consolidated
Edison is making room to install space-saving HTS technology with
security features in one of the world's largest systems of
underground electric cables, some 34 000 kilometers of them below
Manhattan alone.
