About The Project

Leading Light Wind is the only American-led offshore wind project in the New York Bight, representing approximately 84,000 acres of seabed. Upon commercial operation, Leading Light Wind will deliver enough clean, reliable energy to power the equivalent of up to 800,000 New York homes every year and offset nearly 2 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions in its first year of operation. Leading Light Wind is co-developed by energyRe.

“Leading Light Wind is ready to bring our decades of expertise and experience to the fight for a resilient future. Offshore wind is critical to reaching New York’s bold climate and clean energy goals and can accelerate a family-sustaining green economy across the state. Leading Light Wind is uniquely positioned to realize New York’s domestic leadership in offshore wind—and deliver on the promise of cleaner air and a healthier future for our communities.” Miguel Prado, CEO of energyRe.

Leading Light Wind is a bold vision for the East Coast that will deliver enough clean, reliable energy to power the equivalent of up to 800,000 New York homes every year and offset nearly 2 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions in its first year of operation. The proposed project will support tens of thousands of family-sustaining jobs over its operational life and represents up to $13.3 billion in economic benefits, including critical offshore wind infrastructure and supply chain investments. As the only American-led project in the New York Bight, Leading Light Wind is a generational operational to establish U.S. domestic leadership in offshore wind.
