Four more state-contracted wind farms proposed for Long Island
The newly rebid projects include one totaling around 24 miles from Fire Island that proposes to make landfall at Jones Beach State Park; another that will be located off the New England coast and transmit energy via a new cable from over 100 miles away; a third that proposes a cable that will make its way around Manhattan to a landing point in Queens; and a fourth that didn’t list its landing point. All told, the projects would produce upward of 7,000 megawatts of power, enough for millions of New York homes and businesses if they're approved and completed sometime after the end of the decade.
