New York Governor Andrew M. Cuomo called for the development of 2.4 GW of offshore wind development in the second major power generation move to come from his office this week.
The first step in the ambitious development slate would be a 90-MW offshore wind project 30 miles southeast of Montauk, which Cuomo urged the Long Island Power Authority to approve. The Authority has already said contract negotiations are nearly complete, and the project will come up for a vote in January.
