Empire Wind 1

NYSERDA said New York is adding USD 50 million for clean-energy workforce training, citing South Fork Wind in operation and Empire Wind and Sunrise Wind under construction as major offshore wind projects that are part of the state's clean-energy build-out.

Equinor said Empire Wind had been granted a preliminary injunction allowing construction to resume, keeping the New York offshore wind project moving as a near-term source of electricity and grid reliability for the state.
