Support for NY Offshore Wind Farm

There’s an important Deadline coming up for the New York South Fork Wind Farm.

Offshore Wind power is poised to be a Critical part of New York’s Clean Energy Economy, starting with the South Fork Wind Farm (SFWF), a Wind Project off the Coast of Long Island that would Power 70,000 Homes.

The SFWF, coupled with Two other already Approved Wind Projects, will help achieve New York's Goal of:

- 70% Renewable Energy by 2030.

- Slash Pollution.

- Create Good Paying Green Jobs: It is Estimated that SFWF and the Two other Wind Projects would Create more than 1,600 New Jobs.

- Help with New York Economic Recovery: Generate $3.2 Billion in Private Investment.

SFWF is facing a Crucial Step in its Approval Process as the PSC is set to Vote on whether to advance It.

The Comment Period Ends on October 30th.

Dear Secretary,

I write regarding Matter/Case Details: 18-02212/18-T-0604, Application of Deepwater Wind South Fork, LLC for a Certificate of Environmental Compatibility and Public Need for the Construction of Approximately 3.5 Miles of Submarine Export Cable.

I support the South Fork Wind Farm (SFWF). Offshore wind power is poised to be a critical part of New York’s clean energy economy through the SFWF and other projects.

The SFWF, coupled with two other wind projects with State contracts being developed, will help achieve our goal of 70% renewable energy by 2030, slash pollution, create good-paying green jobs, and help with our economic recovery. It is estimated that these three would create more than 1,600 new jobs and generate $3.2 billion in private investment.

The SFWF is a key example of clean energy development. The economic downturn caused by COVID threatened one of New York’s key growth industries - clean energy. In March and April, more than 20,000 New Yorkers who worked in the clean energy sector lost their jobs, with those trends continuing in subsequent months. Offshore wind projects like SFWF are crucial to helping revitalize the renewable energy industry.

There is a strong and growing level of support for SFWF. According to polling by Global Strategy Group, 71% statewide and 70% in Suffolk support SFW Farm after hearing informed choices.

For these reasons, I ask that you advance this critical project.
