In response to New York State's latest offshore wind solicitations, Ørsted and Eversource recently presented a collaborative proposal.
Ørsted used to be one of the most coal-intensive energy companies in Europe, and was dedicated to fossil fuels. But it decided in 2009 to move away from fossil fuels. Now, it is one of the biggest clean energy companies in the world. By January 2022, Ørsted had become the world’s number one offshore wind power developer. Excluding mainland China, it developed approximately 30% of all global installed capacity in this sector.
With Governor Hochul at the helm, New York is primed to expand its leading offshore wind infrastructure. the state has already become a pioneer in developing an offshore wind supply chain and dedicated $500 million toward constructing ports, manufacturing plants and supply chains that will sustain this burgeoning industry. Additionally, it is investing in training a workforce knowledgeable of the new technology so as to ensure continued growth for years to come.
“We’re committed to developing projects that will create good-paying jobs, build up local communities, and generate clean, affordable energy to fight climate change,” said David Hardy, Group EVP and CEO Americas at Ørsted.
The Ørsted-Eversource joint venture is currently investing heavily in two projects to foster New York’s clean energy workforce, build the state’s offshore wind industry and supply renewable power to close to 670,000 households. These efforts will make a major difference for New Yorkers seeking an eco-friendly future.Getting things started for more offshore wind in New York wasn’t a chance for the company’s people to get a break.
