A Great News about the American Renewable Sector

After a period of uncertainty during which Danish wind energy developer Orsted briefly pulled out of the project, the United States’ largest offshore wind project is officially back on track, having just received final approval from the U.S. government. Sunrise Wind, which will have a total capacity of 924 megawatts and will create about 800 jobs during construction and 300 during operations, will be located 30 miles off the eastern point of Long Island, New York (or around 16 miles off Martha’s Vineyard).

The wind farm is expected to provide clean, renewable power to 320,000 homes in New York. It is currently scheduled to come online in 2027. Sunrise Wind is not the only project in the works billing itself as the largest in the U.S.; another planned wind farm off the coast of New Jersey is also trying to claim that title and will have the capacity to power 380,000 homes.
