Update on South Fork Wind Farm:
This week the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management completed its environmental review of the proposed South Fork Wind project offshore of New York and Rhode Island.
The project, proposed for approximately 19 miles southeast of Block Island, Rhode Island, and 35 miles east of Montauk Point will deliver approximately 130 megawatts (MW) of power to the South Fork of Long Island.
The South Fork Wind project would create up to 1,700 jobs. If approved, it would be the second commercial-scale offshore wind project in the United States.
