New York State governor Andrew M. Cuomo has announced Equinor’s Empire Wind as a winner in the state’s first large-scale competitive offshore wind solicitation.
The 816 MW offshore wind project will bring renewable energy to New York consumers, contribute?to the State’s ambitious renewable energy development goals, and provide economic benefits to New York.
Equinor’s 816 MW bid will contribute to meeting New York State’s renewable energy and climate goals including its goal of 9000 MW of offshore wind by 2035. It also represents a milestone for Equinor’s ambition of building an offshore wind core area on the US East Coast.
The project is expected to be developed with 60 - 80 wind turbines, with an installed capacity of more than 10 MW each. Total investments will be approximately US$3 billion, and the project will be able to power over 500 000 homes in New York, with an expected start up in late 2024.
