However, on Monday, the company announced that Hold was lifted And the construction will resume. But as the self -hold, the reasons for its end are mysterious. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management Page for Project Was just updated with A new letter The letter on Tuesday shows that its approval is underway, but construction may resume during the review.
The Home Department has not paid attention to the change and has not responded to a request to comment. A post Bergam has not mentioned the Empire Wind by the Secretary of Interior, but he suggests that the New York governor will approve a pipeline: “I am encouraged by Governor Huchul’s comments about his consent to move on the critical capacity of the pipeline.”
This shows that there was a contract that allowed Empire Wind to resume construction in exchange for a pipeline for fossil fuel. New York Times Suggests The proposed constitution is a reference to the pipeline, which plans to move natural gas from Pennsylvania to East New York, but was canceled in 2020 due to state opposition.
However, Governor Kathy Hochul has not commented on the willingness to move forward with any pipelines. Instead, Hochul’s statement The wind on the Empire is very vague, saying that “has confirmed that the New York administration and private entities will work on new energy projects that meet legal requirements under the law of New York.”
So when it is good news that construction on the Empire Wind has resumed, all this process has been a cause for concern, which is apparently driven by discretionary decisions which have been refused to justify.
