What to Know About Empire Wind

Empire Wind, the massive offshore wind farm being developed by Norwegian energy company Equinor, can now resume construction after the Federal Bureau of Ocean Energy Management lifted its stop-work order. The project is being built 15 to 30 miles south of Long Island's coast and will generate enough clean energy to power approximately 500,000 New York homes when completed. Commercial operation is targeted for 2027.
