In a significant step toward achieving its goal of 30 gigawatts of offshore wind energy capacity by 2030, the Biden-Harris administration has announced the completion of an environmental review by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management

This review assesses potential wind development activities across six lease areas, encompassing over 488,000 acres off New York and New Jersey, collectively known as the New York Bight.

BOEM estimates that fully developing these areas could generate up to 7 gigawatts of renewable energy, sufficient to power approximately two million homes.
