New York State’s third offshore wind solicitation has attracted more than 100 total proposals for eight new projects from six offshore wind developers – a record-setting level of competition among US East Coast states, according to the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA).

All proposals included comprehensive supply chain investment plans to leverage a targeted amount of up to USD 300 million in public funding to unlock private investment in key port infrastructure and manufacturing facilities to support a New York State-based supply chain for offshore wind components, NYSERDA said.
