FILE - The first operating South Fork Wind farm turbine, Dec. 7, 2023, stands east of Montauk Point, N.Y. The Biden administration approved the seventh large offshore wind project in the United States on Tuesday, March 26, 2024. Danish wind energy developer Ørsted and the utility Eversource plan to build a 924-megawatt project, Sunrise Wind, 30 miles east of Montauk, New York. They say the wind farm will power about 600,000 New York homes when it opens in 2026..
U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said the opening of South Fork and the approval for Sunrise Wind shows “the sky is the limit for offshore wind.” Combined, these seven projects can provide more than 8 gigawatts of clean, renewable energy to power roughly 3 million homes, the Interior Department said. The Biden administration wants enough offshore wind energy to power 10 million homes by 2030.
Interior Secretary Deb Haaland said Tuesday’s approval is another substantial step toward fulfilling the nation’s clean energy goals.The Associated Press’ climate and environmental coverage receives financial support from multiple private foundations.
