The projects will also contribute to the state\u2019s path to achieve a zero-emission electricity sector by 2040, and economywide carbon neutrality by mid-century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Governor Hochul said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cToday, we are taking action to keep New York\u2019s climate goals within reach, demonstrating to the nation how to recalibrate in the wake of global economic challenges while driving us toward a greener and more prosperous future for generations to come.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Roughly two-thirds of the awards were made to three large-scale offshore wind projects, including TotalEnergies, Rise Light &amp; Power and Corio Generation\u2019s 1.4 GW \u201cAttentive Energy One,\u201d RWE Offshore Renewables and National Grid Ventures\u2019 1.3 GW \u201cCommunity Offshore Wind,\u201d and Copenhagen Infrastructure\u2019s Vineyard Offshore\u2019s 1.3 GW \u201cExcelsior Wind\u201d project. Combined, the projects mark the largest-ever state investment in offshore wind, and are expected to displace more than 7 million tons of CO2 annually, and drive more than $15 billion in anticipated in-state spending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The land-based awards include 14 new solar projects, six wind repowering projects, one new wind project, and a return-to-service hydroelectric project, totaling 2.4 GW. The projects are expected to spur more than $4 billion in direct investments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cThe Department of Energy applauds the significant step that this announcement represents for building an offshore wind energy industry here in the U.S. that revitalizes domestic manufacturing and coastal economies, while advancing our clean energy future.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote><span class=\"et_bloom_bottom_trigger\"><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced Tuesday a series of awards for 6.4 GW of renewable energy projects, including 3 major offshore wind and 22 land-based projects, marking the largest-ever U.S. state investment in renewable energy to date.
