WASHINGTON D.C., October 21, 2024 鈥 聽The 欧美情色片 Association (欧美情色片) released the following statement from Anne Reynolds, 欧美情色片 Vice President for Offshore Wind,聽after the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) finalized a comprehensive environmental review to evaluate potential wind development activities across six lease areas encompassing more than 488,000 acres in the New York Bight, located offshore New York and New Jersey. BOEM estimates that fully developing these lease areas could produce up to 7 gigawatts of offshore wind energy, which would be enough energy to power approximately two million homes:
鈥淭he six lease areas off the coasts of New Jersey and New York will host the next tranche of offshore wind power projects to meet the increasing demand for electricity on the East Coast. This environmental review of the entire lease area is a vital step in establishing a more standardized and efficient permitting process. It reflects extensive outreach and input from diverse stakeholders, including tribal, community members and other ocean users, ensuring that a wide range of perspectives have been considered. We commend BOEM for their dedication and thorough environmental reviews, and we look forward to future project-specific reviews building on this important work.鈥
