CANCELLED!
Please note that this meeting is being rescheduled and as soon as we know the new dates we will send them to you. Thank you for your interest in Offshore Wind.
Join CCE and Equinor for informative public meetings about offshore wind projects in New York—Empire Wind 1 and Empire Wind 2, which will be located off the coast of the Rockaways and Long Beach and provide enough power for over one million homes
New York has set ambitious goals of 70% renewable energy by 2030 and carbon-free electrical generation by 2040. A key asset in achieving this critical goal is to harness our vast offshore wind resources, which is why New York has set a goal of 9,000 megawatts (MW) of offshore wind by 2035—enough to power 6 million homes.
Empire Wind 1 will be located approximately 20 miles off the coast of the Rockaways and generate approximately 800 MW of energy, which will power 500,000 homes.
Empire Wind 2 will be located off the coast of Long Beach City, adjacent to Empire Wind 1. This project will generate 1,260 MW of energy for Long Island. Energy will be delivered to the south shore via a cable connection to the E.F. Barrett substation in Oceanside. The turbines will be built 20+ miles offshore.
As these projects advance in New York, it is important for Equinor (the developer for Empire Wind 1 and 2) to give updates and hear from the public. Please join us for the following public meetings:
Thank you for joining us!
Sincerely,
Your friends at CCE
