NEW YORK, Nov. 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Attentive Energy One – a joint venture between TotalEnergies, Rise Light & Power, and Corio Generation – has been selected by Governor Kathy Hochul and the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) in New York State's highly competitive third offshore wind solicitation to negotiate an offtake agreement with NYSERDA. This 1,400 MW offshore wind project will support the nation's first renewable repowering of a major fossil fuel generator, retiring and replacing a 60-year-old unit at Ravenswood Generating Station in Long Island City. Once operational, the project is expected to power over 700,000 New York homes from an area more than 50 miles from the nearest point onshore in New York.

Key Points: 
  • When we decided to enter the U.S. market, we quickly identified New York as a clean energy, economic development, and offshore wind leader.
  • Attentive Energy One's Key Commitments:
    Attentive Energy One will retire and replace fossil-fuel generation at the Ravenswood Generating Station with offshore wind.
  • "Attentive Energy One is a case study on how to do offshore wind right," said New York Offshore Wind Alliance Director Fred Zalcman.
  • "Attentive Energy One's project positively impacts people living and working across New York State and further solidifies the Capital Region's standing as a major offshore wind component manufacturing hub.

NEW YORK, March 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Attentive Energy One (AE1), a joint venture of TotalEnergies and Rise Light & Power (Rise), today announced plans for two offshore wind port facilities in New York Harbor generating $400 million in economic activity in New York State. In connection with the 1,400 MW proposal, which AE1 submitted to the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) in January 2023, the project has entered into a lease agreement with Arthur Kill Terminal (AKT) – conditional upon selection by NYSERDA – under which it will serve as a long-term master tenant of the site and assist in project development. Additionally, AE1 will develop a world-class operations and maintenance facility at the Ravenswood Generating Station in Queens (the O&M Hub). Ravenswood, owned by Rise, is New York City's largest fossil generating facility; the O&M Hub will repurpose the site's existing waterfront to provide a just transition for the facility's UWUA Local 1-2 workforce, equipping them to operate the AE1 project for decades to come. 

Key Points: 
  • "Attentive Energy One's ports proposal helps solve future constraints for marshalling and O&M activity in New York City.
  • Maritime College recognizes that the offshore wind industry, a maritime industry, will be essential to the region's future economic and environmental health.
  • "Waterfront Alliance commends projects like Attentive Energy One which help develop and activate new ports and position them to become offshore wind hubs and regional economic powerhouses.
  • "The intersection of offshore wind development, maritime ports, and economic development, including investment in facilities at Staten Island Arthur Kill Terminal, will be critical in bringing renewable energy and maritime jobs to New York State."
