“We thank Governor Hochul for leading the fight to lift the stop-work order on the Empire Wind project. This is a critical step forward for our clean energy future, keeps 1,500 good-paying union jobs on track, and builds the infrastructure to create a healthy, safe New York for future generations. Offshore wind is key to reducing pollution, strengthening our grid, and securing long-term energy independence.
At a time when the federal government is baselessly attacking an entire industry, this is exactly the kind of leadership we need. Governor Hochul stood up for what’s right and got this vital project back on track.”
