New York Governor Kathy Hochul has unveiled plans to launch the fifth offshore wind solicitation (NY5) this summer. In addition, Governor Hochul announced on 23 April that a USD 200 million Supportive Manufacturing and Logistics Request for Proposals (RFP) is open to support infrastructure investments in the state’s domestic offshore wind supply chain.

The news comes after the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) cancelled three offshore wind projects with a combined capacity of over 4 GW due to ”technical and commercial complexities between provisional awardees and their partners” .
