![]() ![]() New York now has five offshore wind projects in active development – the largest offshore wind pipeline in the nation totaling more than 4,300 megawatts and representing nearly 50 percent of the capacity needed to meet New York’s nation-leading offshore wind goal of 9,000 megawatts by 2035. For more information about the projects, see the 2020 Solicitation Awards Fact Sheet. Together, these projects total nearly 2,500 megawatts, enough to power 1.3 million homes. In the State’s second offshore wind procurement, NYSERDA selected two projects for contract negotiation: Empire Wind 2 and Beacon Wind of Equinor Wind US LLC. To learn more about this exciting solicitation, including the addition of a nation-leading $500 investment in the State’s offshore wind ports, manufacturing, and supply chain infrastructure that prioritize Disadvantaged and Frontline communities, see the 2022 Solicitation page. This solicitation comes on the heels of a record-setting auction by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) for leases in the New York Bight in February 2022, which drew bids from six companies and totaled $4.37 billion. In July 2022, New York State launched its third competitive solicitation, ORECRFP22-1, to procure at least 2,000 additional megawatts of offshore wind energy for New Yorkers. To help meet New York’s nation-leading renewable energy targets, NYSERDA issues competitive solicitations for offshore wind energy and contracts with offshore wind developers to purchase offshore renewable energy certificates (ORECs).
