Equinor and bp jointly bid into New York’s third offshore wind solicitation (NY3). Equinor and bp’s bid, submitted to the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) in response to the state’s most recent offshore wind energy solicitation, would provide New York with renewable energy from the 1360MW Beacon Wind 2 lease area located approximately 60 miles off the eastern tip of Long Island.
Equinor and bp’s proposal includes new manufacturing plants. The proposal includes a facility to produce cable components for offshore wind projects both locally and around the world. Additionally, working with offshore wind turbine manufacturers, Equinor and bp propose to support the establishment of facilities to manufacture wind turbine components, such as blades and nacelles, in New York State.
