Join CCE, Wind Works Long Island, and Equinor for community meetings to learn more about these exciting offshore wind projects
Empire Wind 1 and 2, which will be located off the south shore of Long Island, will power over a million homes with renewable energy. These projects are crucial to assisting New York’s transition from fossil fuels to offshore wind and we are working to ensure that the community has voice in these projects. CCE and Wind Works Long Island are co-hosting workshops with Equinor (the developer for the projects) in Long Beach and Island Park to educate Long Islanders about the Empire Wind projects and Empire Wind 2 cable connection into Nassau County. These meetings are free, open to the public, and in-person.

The workshops will provide an overview of the projects and the role they 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 the permitting process, meet the project team, share what is most important to you, and engage with experts on a range of topics covering the potential impacts and benefits associated with the environment, jobs, community benefits, rates, viewsheds, fisheries, and marine logistics.
We hope to see you there!
Sincerely,
Your friends at CCE
