New York S05498 establishes a pilot project for offshore wind energy in Lake Erie to meet clean energy standards.

New York S05498 authorizes the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) to issue a solicitation for up to 200 megawatts of offshore wind renewable energy certificates (ORECs) from Lake Erie. The pilot project aims to comply with the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA) and promote renewable energy development. The solicitation will require selected projects to enter into a project labor agreement and ensure components are made in the U.S. NYSERDA must issue the pilot solicitation within six months of the act's effective date.
