Empire Wind, an offshore wind power facility that would supply electricity to New York, would be constructed about 20 miles offshore of Long Branch.
Construction on Empire Wind, a massive offshore wind farm south of Long Island, is set to resume after the Trump administration lifted a stop-work order.
The Empire Wind project off the coast of New York can restart construction, about a month after the Trump administration abruptly issued a stop work order. The project was reportedly bleeding $50 million a week during the pause as President Trump waged his war against windmills.
Statements from New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum imply that an agreement was reached on the state’s natural gas pipeline capacity.
The administration’s order that stopped work on the New York project served as a warning for the entire offshore wind industry in the U.S.
