Sunrise Wind Statement on NY PSC Article VII Approval

Sunrise Wind has reached a major milestone with the approval of a key state permit needed to build this important New York clean energy project. The New York Public Service Commission’s approval affirms that Sunrise Wind can be built while minimizing community and environmental impacts and helping New York State achieve its vision for a 100% clean energy future. We thank the PSC and its staff for its diligent review of the proposed project, which included extensive analyses and contributions by experts across multiple state agencies as well as input from the Long Island community, resulting in an unopposed project submission. Once complete in 2025, the 924-megawatt Sunrise Wind will provide enough clean energy to power nearly 600,000 homes each year.
