Liberty Renewables owns a 1.3GW wind project pipeline in New York.
Excluding one pandemic year, emissions are lower than they've been since the 1980s.
Energy storage is often pitched as a way to make renewables more reliable and reduce the use of planet-warming fuels, but researchers at the University of Michigan found that it can encourage the use of coal over gas.
The decision is another setback to New York’s aspirations to achieve 70 percent renewable energy by 2030 and be a hub for the nascent industry in the United States.
Virginia-based energy company Dominion Energy has announced the launch of the first U.S.-built and Jones Act-compliant offshore wind turbine installation vessel, the Charybdis. A 472-foot vessel is being built at the
But that will extend a project’s lead time, “which is difficult for federal and state policies if people are trying to get these projects deployed as fast as possible,” Ørsted Americas CEO David Hardy said.
