In the wake of the disappointing Gulf of Mexico wind sale and Orsted’s recent financial announcement, Equinor and bp have requested a massive increase in the price of electricity to be generated at Empire Wind 1, Empire Wind 2, and Beacon Wind (see map above).
According to the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, this would result in an average 54% price hike across their portfolio. The strike prices would rise from $118.38 to $159.64/MWh for Empire Wind 1, from $107.50 to $177.84/MWh for Empire Wind 2, and from $118.00 to $190.82/MWh for Beacon Wind.
