America's First Large-Scale Offshore Wind Farm Now Operational, Kickstarting New Industry and Working Towards Biden Goal of Powering 10 Million Homes by 2030

• America’s first commercial-scale offshore wind farm, South Fork Wind, is now operational off the coast of New York. It can power over 70,000 homes.

• This marks a major milestone for the offshore wind industry in the U.S. and paves the way for more large-scale projects.

• The Biden administration has big offshore wind goals, aiming for enough to power 10 million homes by 2030. More lease areas were recently auctioned.

• New York State picked two more major offshore wind projects last month that will power over 1 million homes.

• Several other large commercial offshore wind farms along the East Coast are expected to come online in 2024-2026.
