The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) is working towards delivering 9 GW of offshore wind by 2035. This target is embedded in the state’s climate legislation, which requires at least 70% of electricity to come from renewable sources by 2030 and a fully emissions-free electricity system by 2040.
As part of this effort, Ventolines supported NYSERDA in assessing the technical, economic and policy questions relevant to the future expansion of offshore wind in New York.
Ventolines provided technical and substantive support to NYSERDA for the further development of offshore wind in New York State. Our work covered feasibility studies, technical assessments and strategic advice to inform policy development.
Ventolines also analysed project proposals for technical quality, practical viability and risks around design, planning and infrastructure. We also developed assessment frameworks and targeted questions to help deepen and improve project plans.
In addition, we carried out analyses regarding cable routes, interconnection, market developments, supply chain and system integration, contributing concrete, well-founded input to strategic decision-making within New York’s offshore wind programme.
With the Offshore Wind Master Plan 2.0, NYSERDA builds on its first Master Plan and charts new opportunities for offshore wind development. Among others, the analyses comprise technical feasibility, economic substantiation, infrastructure and grid integration, spatial planning considerations, and social and environmental impacts.
We also examine how offshore wind connects to the state’s broader energy infrastructure. This requires elaborate investigation of links with existing facilities, opportunities for regional industry, and the conditions needed for an affordable and future-proof implementation.
This project for NYSERDA demonstrates how Ventolines applies its expertise in international markets. Interested in learning how we support clients worldwide in renewable energy projects? Read more about our international approach.
