On Long Island, Ørsted and Eversource were selected to negotiate the Sunrise Wind offshore wind farm off Smith Point. This conditional award brings the 924-megawatt project a step closer to development.
And in Brooklyn, Equinor’s Empire Wind 1 was selected, pending an agreement on final terms with the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA). This project would deliver 810 megawatts of power and the construction of an offshore wind port facility at the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal.
