Electrical & Computer Engineering Seminar
New York State Off-Shore Wind Energy Development
Daniel J. Lorden,

Abstract: New York State’s 2019 Green Energy Deal doubled-down on its Clean Energy Standard to increase renewable electricity from 50% to 70% by 2030 and to achieve 100% carbon-free electricity by 2040. In addition to an ambitious increase of land-based solar, wind, and energy storage capacity targets, the Green Energy Deal calls for increasing New York State’s off-shore wind energy target from 2,400MW by 2030 to 9,000MW by 2035. This seminar will: (1) provide a summary of the Northeast U.S. off-shore wind resource areas and who has secured the rights to develop these areas; (2) describe the technologies available to harvest and transmit the off-shore wind energy to the land-based grid; (3) describe New York State’s ongoing wind energy procurement process; (4) identify the many forces currently impeding progress; and (5) discuss why the Green New Deal goals may not be achieved.
