New York's utility regulator on Thursday granted a unit of Norwegian energy firm Equinor (EQNR.OL), permission to build and operate transmission facilities for the company's Empire Wind 1 offshore wind farm under construction off the state coast.
The transmission line for the project runs about 17.5 miles (28.2 kilometers) from the boundary of New York State waters to a point of interconnection in Brooklyn, the New York Public Service Commission (NYPSC) said in a release #renewables #renewableenergy #wind #environment #climate #ClimateChange https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/new-york-approves-power-line-equinor-offshore-wind-farm-2025-02-13/
