Tell the NY Public Service Commission to Approve the Cable Connection from the South Fork Wind Farm to the Town of East Hampton
New York is poised to be a global leader in the fight against climate change, but we cannot get there without embracing offshore wind. On the South Fork of Long Island, a projected increase in energy demand necessitates either an offshore wind farm or new fossil fuel power plant. LIPA’s approval of the South Fork Wind Farm allows for the increased energy demand to be achieved with renewable energy and not with a new fossil fuel power station. This project will bring 130MW of renewable energy to Long Island.
However, the fight isn’t over. We need New York to approve a cable connection carrying energy from the offshore turbines to an electrical substation in Town of East Hampton. Dozens of studies are already completed to ensure the project is responsibly developed, mitigates potential impacts on wildlife, and protects the coastline. Now it’s time to act.
Submit public comment to the Public Service Commission today. Urge NY to ensure the South Fork Wind Farm cable connection moves forward quickly so it can provide reliable, clean power to Long Island.
Thank you for taking action!
Sincerely,
Your friends at CCE
