The South Fork Wind project, first proposed in 2015, will build a wind farm off the coast of Long Island, 35 miles east of Montauk.
It will help the state reach its goal of 70% renewable energy by 2030 and the goal of East Hampton Town to have 100% of its energy needs met by renewable sources.
The project reached a major milestone when state agencies signed a Joint Proposal to allow the project to move forward, despite opposition from some wealthy homeowners at the site in Wainscott where the power cable from the wind farm will come ashore.
Last October Francesca talked with East Hampton’s Cate Rogers about the project.
This week she checked back with Cate about the progress of the South Fork Windfarm as it goes through the governmental review process.
Here is the conversation, followed by last October's discussion
