Vineyard Wind has submitted plans for a 1.2 GW wind farm 85 miles off New York’s coast, dubbed Liberty Wind. The joint venture between Avangrid Renewables, part of Christian, and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners offered the proposal in response to New York State Energy Research and Development Authority’s call for offshore wind projects. Vineyard has also proposed 400 MW and 800 MW options, but claimed the larger size offers “the most cost-effective option for New York ratepayers”. It follows Governor Andrew Cuomo's January announcement to aim for 9 GW of offshore wind by 2035.
