New York offshore wind cost reduction study

Green Giraffe contributed to the study conducted by the University of Delaware’s Special Initiative on Offshore Wind (SIOW) for the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) setting out key strategic steps New York State can take to reduce costs of offshore wind power over the next decade.

The study finds that ongoing technology and industry advances combined with actions New York could take, independently or with other states, could lower costs for offshore wind power as much as 50% and bring the clean-energy source closer to realizing its potential for “delivering utility-scale renewable electric generation” to New York City and nearby areas such as Long Island.
