Construction is progressing on the Empire Wind 1 project, with monopile foundations now installed approximately 15-20 miles off the south shore of Long Island. The 816 MW offshore wind farm, being developed by Equinor and BP, will feature 79 turbines capable of powering over 500,000 New York homes upon completion in late 2026. Despite a temporary construction pause earlier this year due to regulatory reviews, work has resumed with installation vessels now operating in the lease area. More information can be found here.
