With New York City committed to 100% clean electricity by 2040 and carbon neutrality by 2050, it sees offshore wind as vital to the required shift to renewable energy from many sources. It also wants to make sure that it gets its share off the new jobs and economic activity that the offshore wind industry will create and last week Mayor Bill de Blasio and the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) last week committed to a plan called Offshore Wind NYC that will invest more than $191 million to make New York City a leading destination for the offshore wind industry.
