NYS Planning for Major Wind Energy Projects to Meet Climate Goals

Last week, state utility regulators began  planning for a major new underwater transmission project to bring offshore wind energy into New York City to help meet the state’s climate and clean energy goal of having at least 9 gigawatts of offshore wind energy by 2035.
