Bureau of Ocean Energy Management State Activities
The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management has seen strong interest in offshore renewable energy projects on the Outer Continental Shelf. BOEM works closely with certain coastal states regarding offshore energy development and is in the process of coordinating federal-state task forces. A summary of the status of activity in the different states is available.
Clean Energy Group
Clean Energy Group is a leading national, nonprofit organization working on innovative policy, technology, and finance programs in the areas of clean energy and climate change. The group's projects concentrate on climate and clean energy issues at the state, national, and international levels and include stakeholders from governments and the private and nonprofit sectors. Clean Energy Group assists states to create and implement innovative practices and public funding programs for clean energy project deployment; creates networks of U.S. and international policy makers to address climate stabilization strategies; and advances effective distributed innovation theories, finance, and commercialization tools for new climate technologies.
New York Offshore Wind Alliance
A diverse coalition of environmental groups, offshore wind power developers, environmental justice and community advocates, academics, and consultants form the New York Offshore Wind Alliance, a project of the Alliance for Clean Energy New York. The organization's mission is to promote policies leading to offshore wind development off the coast of New York State and to secure a commitment from New York officials to develop 5,000 megawatts of offshore wind power by 2030.
New York State Energy Research and Development Authority
The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) offers objective information and analysis, innovative programs, technical expertise, and support to help New Yorkers increase energy efficiency, save money, and use renewable energy. NYSERDA is leading the coordination of offshore wind opportunities in New York State. Offshore wind will support the state’s renewable portfolio standard, which requires 50% of New York's electricity needs to be met by renewable sources by 2030.
