Future Wind Farm Off LI's South Shore?

The Long Island Power Authority (LIPA), the New York Power Authority, Con Ed and other agencies are looking into the possibility of building a wind farm off the south shore of Long Island. It's only in the preliminary planning stages at this point, but if this becomes a reality, the proposed wind farm could conceivably be one of the largest offshore wind farms in the United States.

In 2007, LIPA halted plans for a previously planned offshore wind farm because the high costs of such a project exceeded their expectations.
