As selected for New York's next round of offshore wind development, Vineyard Offshore's Excelsior Wind project will deliver more than 1,300 MW of clean, reliable electrical capacity to New York, enough to power 700,000 homes and avoid 1.1 million tons of carbon pollution annually, equivalent to taking nearly 225,000 cars off the road. Excelsior Wind will provide millions of dollars' worth of economic benefits in jobs, workforce development, opportunities for local businesses, and other initiatives, with a focus on disadvantaged communities, while ensuring New York's place as a national hub of the offshore wind industry.

We shared Vineyard Offshore's experience and vision to support the green energy transition, while learning more from the delegation on how to partner together to support local priorities in New York - including workforce development and supply chain opportunities that provide high quality jobs as we make a just and equitable transition to the new clean economy.
Thanks to the State of Green Denmark and Cornell University ILR School for facilitating this important discussion!
