Con Edison Transmission will develop the transmission facilities required to deliver the wind energy to the grid under a memorandum of understanding with the project partners. New York Power Authority (NYPA) will also support the development of the transmission infrastructure.

Largest proposed East Coast

[edit]
This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by adding missing items with reliable sources.

The following table lists largest offshore wind farm areas (by nameplate capacity) that are in various states development for the Outer Continental Shelf in U.S. territorial waters of the East Coast of the United States.[1] where a Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) wind energy area (WEA) lease has been secured[2] and have gained at least some required regulatory approval before construction can begin. Distances are approximated and generally represent closest point of turbine array to shoreline, while acreage represents size of total lease area, which may be shared, and not the blocks within them allocated for the wind farm.
