New York took decisive action toward realizing the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act with the selection of two offshore wind projects: Empire Wind and Sunrise Wind. This commitment is the largest renewable energy procurement by a state in U.S. history.
These projects, which total 1,696 megawatts, are enough to power more than 1 million New York homes and support more than 1,600 jobs while advancing progress toward Governor Andrew M. Cuomo’s newly enacted offshore wind target of 9,000 megawatts by 2035.
