According to Action 3 of the plan, the “New York State Energy Research and Development Authority will launch an accelerated renewable energy procurement process for both offshore and onshore renewable energy projects, aiming to backfill any contracted projects which are terminated.” This project brings the state, one step closer to that goal.
