AWEA Reacts to New York's Offshore Wind Announcement
New York's Governor Andrew Cuomo has recently announced to more than triple the state’s offshore wind development target from 2.4 GW by 2030 to 9 GW by 2035.
"By more than tripling New York’s already impressive offshore wind goal, Governor Cuomo has redefined offshore wind ambition nationwide,” said Nancy Sopko, Director, Offshore Wind Policy & Siting at the American Wind Energy Association. “New York’s new goal also underscores the importance of ongoing efforts to identify new lease areas amid fierce competition from major energy developers to be the first to harness world-class U.S. offshore wind resources at scale."
