Turn Forward Executive Director Hillary Bright offered the following comment in response to the news regarding the lawsuit over the TotalEnergies NY Bight lease buyback:
“Well over a million American households could receive power from the offshore wind leases that are being dealt away instead of developed. Is the U.S. really in a position to take future power sources off the table? At a time of sharply rising electricity demand and affordability concerns, the government should focus on delivering all the electrons we can get.”
Data from @NERC_Official shows 13 out of 23 North American grid regions face elevated or high risk of electricity shortfalls over the next decade. And demand isn’t slowing down.
Offshore wind can be a valuable solution: it strengthens energy security, improves grid reliability, and supports long-term economic growth.

Permitting remains one of the biggest obstacles to advancing projects that are essential to meeting the unprecedented demand on our nation’s electric grid.
Offshore wind projects are a proven way to provide power where it’s needed most, avoiding grid disruptions and rising utility costs. Permitting reform is the key to unlocking these projects and building the reliable, affordable grid America needs.

In South Fork’s first year of operation, the project generated electricity 99% of days and reached a 50% capacity factor. This was especially important during this winter’s extreme weather, when demand for energy increased.
Offshore wind provides stable, locally-produced power when and where it’s needed most. This means a strong grid, more affordable energy, and stronger national security.
