In April, the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) cancelled three offshore wind projects with a combined capacity of over 4 GW that were provisionally awarded capacity in 2023, citing ”technical and commercial complexities between provisional awardees and their partners” .
NYSERDA said that GE Vernova’s offshore wind turbine product pivoting away from the initially proposed 18 MW Haliade-X turbine platform to a 15.5/16.5 MW platform caused material changes to projects proposed into the solicitation and, given these developments, no final awards would be made.
