NEW YORK — Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP), through its development platform Vineyard Offshore, was awarded 1.3 GW in the latest solicitation for offshore wind power held by the New York State Energy Research and Development Agency.
The award allows Vineyard Offshore to commercialize clean and reliable energy through its Excelsior Wind Project located in lease area OCS-A 544 in
the New York Bight. The lease area is owned by Copenhagen Infrastructure IV, a fund managed by CIP, a global leader in renewable energy investment.
CIP claims Vineyard Wind 1 is the nation’s first commercial scale offshore wind farm.
With a total capacity of 1.3 GW, Excelsior Wind has the potential to power more than 700,000 homes in New York with clean, reliable and affordable energy, avoiding up to 1.1 million metric tons annually in carbon pollution, the equivalent to taking 225,000 cars off the road every year, CIP said.
