The groups charged with leading New York’s energy transition enter 2024 trying to build on momentum from in 2023 while recovering from its disappointments.
New York is moving quickly to keep its renewable energy development queue viable, launching solicitations for new onshore and offshore large-scale projects.
Twenty-five renewable energy projects totaling 6.4 GW have been selected for development in New York, including three new offshore wind farms with a combined 4 GW capacity.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul vetoed the Planned Offshore Wind Transmission Act approved by the state Legislature this year.
Transmission developers discussed the obstacles to getting their projects permitted and built, but also focused on successes, with a strong focus on community and stakeholder engagement.
New York published an action plan to accelerate its renewable energy sector and expand the industry that is growing around it.
