You’ll get to see a presentation from the Brattle Group about their analysis of offshore wind transmission costs, environmental impacts, and risks of different approaches to offshore transmission development.

Panelists will discuss findings from the analysis. The panel will be moderated by Joe Martens, Director of New York Offshore Wind Alliance. Participants include:

• Kevin Knobloch, President of Anbaric’s New York OceanGrid
• Tammy Mitchell, Director, Office of Electric, Gas and Water, New York State Department of Public Service
• Kirsty Townsend, Director, Head of Special Projects, Ørsted
• Girish Behal, Vice President Project & Business Development, New York Power Authority

As part of the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA), New York State is required to generate 9,000 megawatts of offshore wind energy by 2035. In response to its first round of solicitations, the state has already awarded projects that will total 1,700 megawatts. The State recently announced a second solicitation for a record-setting 4,000 megawatts of additional offshore wind capacity.

To get all of this power to land and to the people who need it, New York must upgrade significant portions of its energy infrastructure. This forum will look at some of the key questions surrounding offshore transmission, including environmental impacts, grid capacity issues, and estimated costs.

We are proud to partner with Anbaric and the Sabin Center for Climate Change Law.
