The new group will be known as the National Offshore Wind Research
and Development Consortium. Officials say the group will be funded with an
$18.5 million grant from the federal Department of Energy.
When launched, the group will bring together energy
researchers, utility companies and other states to discuss ways to improve the
development and utilization of offshore wind.
By 2030, the state plans to have 2.4 gigawatts of offshore
wind, enough energy to power up to 1.2 million homes.
Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced the state's
involvement on Friday.
