Cuomo starts master plan for wind power off LI coast
The Cuomo administration on Thursday started creating a master plan to harness some of the world’s strongest offshore winds. The state’s Long Island Power Authority and the New York State Energy Research & Development Authority have identified six potential wind energy areas for New York, including one that would stretch across the length of the Hamptons. The Cuomo administration, however, said no decisions on locating wind farms have yet been made. Gov. Andrew M.

The state’s Offshore Wind Master Plan will be due by the end of 2017. Read the story here 08:45
