⚡ New York State is committed to building enough offshore wind farms to make 9,000 megawatts (MW) of electricity.
💼 Not only is this about 30% of the state’s electrical demand–enough to power up to 6 million homes, but it would improve air quality, create thousands of jobs, and help make life more affordable for all New Yorkers. #NYWindWorks

🥵 *These areas are known as DACs, which stands for ‘Disadvantaged Communities,’ defined by specific criteria identifying areas facing disproportionate environmental burdens, pollution, climate impacts, and socioeconomic challenges, with a goal to direct 40% of clean energy benefits to these areas using a scoring of 45 indicators across various factors like income, health, and pollution.
✅ Offshore Wind Energy can help with a range of benefits and opportunities.

✅ Offshore wind is built with the surrounding communities in mind. Just ask Oronde Hale, who helped build one of America’s first commercial-scale offshore wind farms. #NYWindWorks
“When the turbines were starting to get built, I knew I wanted to be on that list so I could save up enough money to buy a house. If it wasn’t for that one job, I can’t say I’d be where I’m at right now. It got us out of what I’d like to say is borderline poverty to middle class.” Oronde Hale

🗣️ With so much talk about offshore wind farms and clean wind energy, sometimes falsehoods get into the mix.
☕️ The average New Yorker’s monthly bill impact is projected to be about the price of a cup of coffee over the lives of these offshore wind projects (approx. 20-25 years). #NYWindWorks

🎙️ Offshore wind farms are built with the surrounding communities in mind. Just ask Nadia Adams, President of Staten Island Industrial Alliance. #NYWindWorks
“Where I find the most interesting entry point into renewable energy is jobs like programming, jobs like project management, jobs like external affairs. I think we need to talk about those kinds of jobs as well.” Nadia Adams

💰 NYSERDA and NYCEDC are funding training programs that help New Yorkers get ready for offshore wind careers, and other energy related careers, many of which come with real support.
Things like scholarship funding, safety training, childcare help, transportation support and stipends may be available depending on the program.
It’s all about making this industry more accessible, not just more sustainable. Link in bio. #NYWindWorks

🔁 Clean energy training is about more than one project, it’s about skills that last. Many offshore wind training programs build transferable skills used across the energy industry, infrastructure, and climate resilience work — from electrical and mechanical training to project management and port operations.
These are family-sustaining career pathways that support long-term employment, mobility, and growth, especially for communities historically left out of the energy economy.
Renewable energy is bigger than one industry. The skills you gain today can power your future for years to come.
