Equinor is hosting community meetings in Island Park and Long Beach on this exciting offshore wind project
The Empire Wind 1 and 2 wind projects, which will be located off the south shore of Long Island, will power over a million homes with renewable energy. Offshore wind is crucial to assisting New York’s transition away from fossil fuels. It is important that the community is informed and has the ability to ask questions about these projects.
Empire Wind 1 will connect to the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal and power homes in NYC, while Empire Wind 2 will power 600,000+ Long Island homes with renewable energy. The cable connection for Empire Wind 2 is currently scheduled to go through the City of Long Beach to a substation in Island Park.
Equinor is hosting open houses in Long Beach and Island Park to educate Long Islanders about the Empire Wind projects and the Empire Wind 2 cable connection into Nassau County. These meetings are free and open to the public.

These open houses will provide an overview of the project and the role it will play in helping Long Island move from fossil fuels to offshore wind. The events will be an opportunity to learn about project details and permitting process, meet the project team, and engage with the experts. We hope to see you there!
