WHERE IS IT

Where is Community Offshore Wind's lease area from New York?

Before offshore wind projects are selected by individual states, developers bid in federal "lease area" auctions, which determine the area of the ocean where they can build new offshore wind farms.

Community Offshore Wind’s awarded lease area is located in the Atlantic Ocean between Long Island and New Jersey.

Is our wind farm visible?

Our turbines will be 64 miles from New York at their closest point, and completely out of view from the shore.
