Comments on Notice of Intent to Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement Proposed Sunrise Wind Farm Project on the Northeast Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf
October 4, 2021
The BlueGreen Alliance appreciates the opportunity to submit these comments to inform the preparation by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (“BOEM”) of an Environmental Impact statement (“EIS or “Draft EIS”) as part of its review of a construction and operations plan submitted by Sunrise Wind LLC and provided project information. The expeditious permitting of this project is critical to meet New York’s ambitious goal to deploy 9,000 megawatts by 2035. It also is key to meeting the Biden Administration’s goal to deploy 30,000 megawatts of offshore wind by 2030.
