How much power would be produced by the offshore wind project?
The proposed Long Island – New York City Offshore Wind Project would likely be designed for 350 megawatts (MW) of generation, with the ability to expand it to 700 MW, giving it the potential to be the largest offshore wind project in the country. A 350 MW wind facility operating at 30 percent of its capacitywould generate about 920,000 megawatt-hours per year, enough energy for over 250,000 homes.
