New York's largest offshore wind farm, the 924 MW Sunrise Wind project, has received its federal construction permit and will begin construction this year. The project is expected to create 800 direct jobs and supply renewable energy to 600,000 homes in New York. RepJerryNadler expressed gratitude to POTUS, SecDebHaaland, and BOEM for the final approval. Sunrise Wind is scheduled to begin operations in 2026. This development is part of a broader push for offshore wind energy in the U.S., with the Department of Energy noting that approximately 50 GW of U.S. seabed has already been leased, and over 10 GW of offshore wind projects have been approved for construction as of April 2024.
