The US Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) is set to begin an environmental review for New York State’s largest commercial scale offshore wind project to-date, the up-to-1.3GW Sunrise megadevelopment off New York.

BOEM, the federal agency tasked with regulating development of the US offshore continental shelf for the Department of Interior (DOI), announced a notice of intent (NOI) to begin preparing the environmental impact statement (EIS) for the project, being developed by the Sunrise Wind joint venture between Orsted and Eversource.
