OFFSHORE WIND DELIVERS FOR NEW YORK
Offshore wind is good for our community, our environment, and our future.
OFFSHORE WIND BENEFITS
IMPROVED PUBLIC HEALTH
Generating power through wind energy reduces our reliance on fossil fuels and coal, reduces pollution, improves air quality, and lowers the risk of heart and lung disease and asthma in children.
NEW GREEN JOBS
New York’s commitment to developing 9,000 megawatts of offshore wind energy will create 10,000 green jobs for New Yorkers
RENEWABLE ENERGY
We’re generating clean, renewable energy to power nearly one million homes reliably, sustainably, and affordably.
FIGHTING CLIMATE CHANGE
When you divide the total emissions associated with a wind turbine by the amount of electricity it will produce in its lifetime, it works out at about 6 g of carbon dioxide for every kilowatt-hour (kWh) of electricity. That’s 99% lower emissions than fossil fuels.
STABILIZED ELECTRICITY RATES
Wind power provides a consistent energy supply at consistent rates — all while preventing millions of tons of carbon emissions.
