CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATIONS PLAN

The Project will provide clean, reliable offshore wind energy that will increase the amount and
availability of renewable energy to New York while creating the opportunity to displace
electricity generated by fossil fuel-powered plants and offering substantial economic and
environmental benefits. New York has adopted substantial renewable portfolio standards and
clean energy targets to address issues associated with climate change, highlighting the current
and future demand for this Project.
In response to the expressed need and demand, Sunrise Wind executed a contract with
NYSERDA for a 25-year OREC Agreement in October 2019. Under the OREC Agreement,
NYSERDA will purchase ORECs for 880 MW of offshore wind energy, with the ability to increase by
5 percent without requiring an amendment (totaling up to 924 MW), generated by the
operational Project and make them available for purchase by New York load-serving entities.
The Project is being developed to fulfill its obligations to New York in accordance with its
OREC Agreement. As specified in the OREC Agreement, the Project will generate electricity from
an offshore wind farm located in the Lease Area for transmission and delivery to the LIPA
Holbrook Substation. The Project will include up to 94 WTGs (at 102 potential WTG positions), IAC,
one OCS–DC, and one direct current SRWEC making landfall in the Town of Brookhaven,
New York.
In addition to the 924 MW contracted to NYSERDA, Sunrise Wind has the opportunity to enter into
other potential offtake agreements or sell additional electricity on a merchant basis without an
offtake contract. Sunrise Wind is currently working with suppliers to determine the maximum
capacity of the DC transmission system, and with the New York Independent System Operator to
confirm the maximum interconnection capacity limits at the Holbrook Substation. Depending on
the technical limitations of the DC transmission system, as well as the technical limitations for
injecting power at the Holbrook Substation, the total nameplate capacity of the Project,
inclusive of the 924 MW contracted to NYSERDA, could be up to 1,034 MW. Thus, the PDE for the
Project described in Section 1.2 and Section 3.0 is based on an operating capacity ranging
between 924 MW and 1,034 MW. If additional offtake contracts are signed or a decision is made
to sell on a merchant basis, the additional capacity (up to 110 MW) would be installed during a
single campaign with the 924 MW contracted to NYSERDA.
As such, the Project will help the State achieve the aggressive clean energy goals set forth in
REV, the CES and more recently, the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act
(CLCPA), which was signed in July 2019 and adopts the most ambitious and comprehensive
climate and clean energy legislation in the country. The CLCPA sets forth an ambitious plan that
sets the NYS goal of achieving 100 percent carbon-free electricity by 2040 and 70 percent of
electricity from renewable sources by 2030, including a target of reaching 9,000 MW of offshore
wind by 2035.

framework in which the Project will be reviewed, a description of the agency and
stakeholder outreach, and other key Project information requested by BOEM (Section 1);
