Construction approval secured for 924 MW Offshore Wind farm in USA
The 942 MW Sunrise Wind project off the coast of New York has received approval for its construction and operations plan (COP) from the US Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM).
The COP approval outlines the project’s one nautical mile wind turbine spacing, the requirements for the construction methodology for all work occurring in federal ocean waters, and mitigation measures to protect marine habitats and species.
The approval of the COP is in line with BOEM’s permitting timeline and follows the agency’s issuance of its Record of Decision in March 2024, which concluded the thorough BOEM-led environmental review of the project. Ørsted and Eversource reached these provisions and protections by working closely with a range of external organisations and experts, a commitment the companies carry to all stakeholder relationships to help ensure coexistence.
The Offshore wind farm will generate enough renewable energy to power nearly 600,000 New York homes and is expected to be operational in 2026.
