NYPA is supporting the development of clean, non-polluting wind power in New York State in a variety of ways.  During 2009, it announced major initiatives to explore the development of offshore wind farms in the Great Lakes and in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Long Island.  NYPA has also issued a Request for Information for the development of distributed wind resources on the grounds of universities and municipal facilities such as wastewater plants around the state. In addition, NYPA provides a market for wind developers by purchasing wind power or renewable attributes for its customers.

This site will provide ongoing updates on wind activities in which NYPA is involved.  For more information on our wind power activities, contact us at NYPAWindPower@nypa.gov.
