Webinar: Offshore Wind in New York
- Webinar held 10 April 2024, 11:00–13:00 GMT for Norwegian companies exploring US offshore-wind opportunities, especially New York. Hosted by Innovation Norway and the Royal Norwegian Consulate General in New York.

It says New York had awarded Empire Wind 1 (810 MW) and Sunrise Wind (924 MW), then expected to operate in 2026, and describes the state’s programme as establishing a clearer project-development pathway and reducing supply-chain investment risk.
