New York State broke ground<\/a> on Friday on its first offshore wind farm, kicking off a boom in similar projects aimed at transforming the state\u2019s \u2014 and the nation\u2019s \u2014 energy mix. The South Fork Wind project off the coast of Long Island is expected to be operational by the end of 2023.<\/p>\n

New York has the largest pipeline of offshore wind projects underway of any state in the nation, with five in active development. South Fork Wind is being billed as one of the first-ever commercial-scale offshore wind farms in North America. Once completed, it should be able to generate 130 megawatts (MW) of power \u2014 enough to power 70,000 homes in nearby East Hampton.<\/p>\n

That alone amounts to a major scaling up of offshore wind capacity in the US. The nation so far only has two operational wind farms along its coasts \u2014 off the shores of Rhode Island<\/a> and Virginia<\/a> \u2014 with a combined capacity of just 42 MW. <\/p>\n
