BOEM Review of Empire Wind’s Offshore Projects
The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management is due to receive comments on the draft environmental impact statement for Empire Offshore Wind LLC’s proposal to construct two wind energy facilities offshore New York. The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority selected the 816-megawatt Empire Wind 1 Project in July 2019 and the 1,260-megawatt Empire Wind 2 Project in January 2021 to develop offshore wind farms. The projects would contribute to New York’s goal of 9 gigawatts of offshore wind energy generation by 2035, as outlined in the 2019 Climate Leadership and Community Project Act.
