Route Fifty: New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s answer to federal designs to expand offshore drilling was Monday’s release of his state’s Offshore Wind Master Plan, which lays out the procurement of a minimum 800 megawatts of wind power over the next two years.
The strategy aims to corner an emerging U.S. market, which U.S. mayors just last week predicted would soon compete with fossil fuels thanks to technological advances and cities as its champions.
In 2016, Cuomo mandated the state generate 50 percent of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030, and the 2.4 gigawatts of clean energy the plan provides for by that date would power 1.2 million homes.
