Equinor Wind US holds the offshore wind lease areas OCS – A 512 (Empire Wind) and OCS – A 520. Empire Wind is located ~17 nautical miles south of Long Island, east of the Rockaways. OCS – A 520 is ~ 20 nautical miles south of Cape Cod.
Equinor believes in coexistence with the fishing community and has been engaging with the fishing industry to identify spatial and temporal distribution of fishing, target species and gear types, key concerns fishermen have with operating in offshore wind farms, and recommendations for avoiding impacts.
