New York finalizes offshore wind contracts for Equinor, Orsted projects
Adds dateline, changes sourcing to N.Y. officials, adds detail, background
STOCKHOLM, June 4 (Reuters) -The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) said on Tuesday it had finalized contracts for Equinor's EQNR.OL Empire Wind 1 and Orsted's ORSTED.CO and Eversource's ES.N Sunrise Wind offshore wind projects.
NYSERDA in February awarded conditional contracts to buy electricity from two proposed offshore wind projects under a program meant to support the embattled industry and keep the state's ambitious clean energy goals on track.
The state at the time selected the Empire Wind 1 project from Norway's Equinor and the Sunrise Wind facility being developed by Denmark's Orsted and U.S. power provider Eversource.
Equinor said in a separate statement that itintends to bring in a partner to its project toreduce financial exposure.
Both Equinor and Orsted took large financial hits on their U.S. offshore wind portfolios last year amid soaring costs and supply chain constraints.
