On
May 28, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) announced their intent to
prepare an environmental assessment regarding potential commercial wind leases
offshore New York. On the same day, BOEM also published a call for
information and nominations from companies interested in commercial wind energy
leases in this area. BOEM is seeking
public comments on both announcements, and comments are due July 14. Importantly, the area of interest
overlaps with the proposed Port Ambrose LNG terminal that COA and partner
groups have been fighting against for years.
This
presents a good opportunity to submit comments that raise questions about how offshore
wind development would be possible if Port Ambrose moves forward.
