“Offshore wind development in New York is best achieved by completing resource characterization, technical assessments, and policy and economic analysis for broad-scale, market-based development and delivery of this resource,” says a 116-page plan for adding up to 3.2GW of new electric generation and transmission capacity in the state.
It calls for the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) to initiate the offshore studies this year and complete them by 31 December 2013.
