The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management this month issued a draft environmental assessment that evaluates potential impacts of offshore wind leases and related work before construction within nearly 800,000-acres of the New York Bight.

PSEG said it expects to be out of the fossil fuel business by the first quarter of next year and is considering investing in another offshore wind project.

Eversource says improving its relationship with Connecticut policymakers and ratepayers is a “top priority” even as it appeals a state-imposed penalty.

Avangrid said it expects the Park City offshore wind project to begin commercial operations in 2026 instead of the 2025 date it previously announced.

Labor unions, environmentalists and state residents told federal officials they largely support the 2-GW Empire Wind project in the New York Bight.

The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management has moved the Park City Wind project ahead to environmental review.

The Efficient Grid Interconnection Act would require FERC to revise rules on cost allocation and push RTOs and ISOs to consider grid-enhancing technologies.

At EBA’s annual Northeast Chapter meeting state officials discussed present and future transmission planning needs to reach a carbon-free electric grid.

A bill backed by a New Jersey Senate committee would allow offshore wind developers to site transmission on public land regardless of local governments.

Calif. needs to increase the pace of transmission buildout to reach its 100% clean energy goals by 2045 & retain natural gas for reliability, advocates say.
