#SunriseWind, #NewYork’s largest offshore #windfarm, now has the final permit it needs from the US Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (#BOEM) to start construction.
The 924-megawatt (MW) Sunrise Wind, a 50-50 partnership between Ørsted and Eversource, will generate enough clean energy to power nearly 600,000 New York households. It’s around 30 miles east of #MontaukPoint, #LongIsland, and is expected to be operational in 2026.

Biden administration approves the nation's seventh large offshore wind project

The Biden administration greenlit the seventh large offshore wind project in the United States Tuesday. Danish wind energy developer Ørsted and the utility Eversource plan to build a 924-megawatt project, Sunrise Wind, east of Montauk, New York. They say the wind farm will power about 600,000 New York homes when it opens in 2026. This month, the companies opened the nation’s first commercial-scale offshore wind farm. The 12-turbine wind farm called South Fork Wind is also east of Montauk. U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer says the opening of South Fork and the approval for Sunrise Wind shows the sky is the limit for offshore wind.
