The Attentive Energy One project, 54 miles south of Jones Beach, has been selected to deliver green power to over 700,000 New York homes.
Attentive Energy One, a joint venture between TotalEnergies SE, Rise Light & Power, and Corio Generation, has been selected by Governor Kathy Hochul and the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) in New York state’s third offshore wind solicitation to negotiate an offtake agreement with the NYSERDA.
Attentive Energy LLC, a subsidiary of TotalEnergies Renewables USA LLC, said in a media release that the 1,400 megawatts (MW) offshore wind project will support the nation’s first renewable repowering of a major fossil fuel generator, retiring and replacing a 60-year-old unit at Ravenswood Generating Station in Long Island City.
In addition to reducing carbon emissions by more than one million tons per year, equivalent to removing 13 percent of cars from New York City streets, Attentive Energy One is expected to deliver $25.6 billion in direct and indirect economic benefits to New York state, including more than 2,600 new unique jobs, the company said.
The project is also expected to save ratepayers approximately $10 billion on their utility bills over the first 25 years of operation, including $500 million in savings for low-income New Yorkers, Attentive Energy said.
“Attentive Energy One is a community-driven project that will spur billions of dollars in economic activity, support a just transition for union workers and reduce emissions in a historically disadvantaged community. Following years of local engagement across the City and State, our team looks forward to delivering a project that reflects New York, our values and our common goals of economic development and addressing climate change”, Damian Bednarz, managing director of Attentive Energy, said.
Besides Attentive Energy One, the company recently filed a proposal in response to the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities’ third offshore wind solicitation offering to supply New Jersey with up to 1,342 MW of offshore wind energy.
The Attentive Energy Two project, a joint venture between TotalEnergies and Corio Generation, if awarded, is expected to power more than 600,000 homes. The project would be located over 42 miles east of Seaside Heights in federal waters, Attentive Energy said.
