About Sunrise Wind

We have made several commitments to help New York lead the nation in this growing industry, including:

• $10 million for a National Workforce Training Center on Long Island, partnering with Suffolk County Community College and leading labor unions to create training programs that will foster job opportunities for New Yorkers in offshore wind

• A new Operations & Maintenance Hub in Port Jefferson, creating up to 100 new and permanent full-time jobs and cementing Long Island as a key anchor point for New York’s offshore wind future

• $11 million for major port infrastructure upgrades as part of the New York Ports Infrastructure Development Fund and Upstate New York Workforce Development Fund

• Using Capital Region facilities to fabricate key components for the foundations of offshore wind turbines

Sunrise Wind is estimated to generate up to 800 direct jobs through the project’s construction. Thousands of other indirect and induced jobs will be created to support project work.

Additionally, Sunrise Wind is entering negotiations with New York State contractors and trade labor organizations on a Project Labor Agreement to cover construction activities for the project, and committing to paying prevailing wages.
