NOIA Applauds Record-Setting Offshore Wind Contract in the Atlantic

Washington, D.C. – NOIA’s Vice-President of Government and Political Affairs, Tim Charters, issued the following statement regarding NY Governor Cuomo’s announcement of a record-setting contract for offshore wind development:

“The announcement by the Governor of New York signals that offshore wind is set to boom off our Atlantic coast and that developers and companies in the offshore energy supply chain need to get ready to build. We are thrilled that New York chose two NOIA member companies, Ørsted and Equinor, for these major offshore wind projects and we congratulate the great corporate teams that made this happen. NOIA looks forward to seeing these projects become reality. We also eagerly await future announcements about additional procurements and encourage a steady pipeline of leasing from BOEM to support the growth of an offshore wind supply chain in the U.S. to ensure that the economic opportunity of offshore wind becomes a winning reality for American workers and results in a more secure American energy future.”
