NYSERDA Summer 2020 Offshore Wind Update and Informational Webinar

The Port of Albany shared the following event:

NYSERDA will host its Summer 2020 Public Webinar to offer updates on the development of offshore wind in New York State. This webinar will cover Governor Andrew M. Cuomo’s recent announcement of the largest combined solicitations for renewable energy ever issued in the U.S. to combat climate change. This includes up to 2,500 megawatts offshore wind with a complementary multi-port infrastructure investment that will bring New York’s total commitment to more than $400 million in public and private dollars for port infrastructure since last year. This webinar will also include updates on the Clean Energy Standard White Paper published on June 18 that advances the framework to implement the state’s climate law and decarbonize its power sector. Included is a proposed procurement trajectory to develop 9,000 megawatts of offshore wind power by 2035, as well as regional and industry updates, stakeholder engagement activities, updates from the National Offshore Wind R&D Consortium, and new studies and surveys.
