On January 13, 2021, Governor Andrew Cuomo of New York State announced by far the largest offshore wind award set by any state in U.S. history, picking two projects that together are expected to provide 2,490 megawatts (“MWs”) of capacity and more than 2,500 good-paying jobs. This announcement, resulting from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority’s (“NYSERDA”) “Round 2” solicitation, positions New York as the undeniable center of gravity for the burgeoning U.S. offshore wind industry, which is expected to accelerate even faster in 2021 with support from the incoming Biden administration.
