Energy company Equinor plans to advance what New York Governor Andrew Cuomo calls the largest offshore wind program in the country off the coast of Long Island.
Developers this week say construction on the Empire Wind Farm project off of Long Beach is scheduled to begin in 2023.
The company also won approval in January to build two additional projects in Long Island waters, including the Empire Wind Farm 2.
Equinor spokesperson Julia Bovey said that would help the state meet its overall renewable energy goals.
“We have a total of $47 million in workforce development. And in New York, that can be innovation. It can be direct community benefits, job training, other ways that we can help speed the energy transition,” Bovey said.
