“The Governor, who made today's announcement in Wainscott, celebrated South Fork Wind kickstarting New York's offshore wind generation when it becomes operational in late 2023. South Fork Wind will be one of the first commercial-scale offshore wind projects to commence operation in North America.”
Read MoreFirst, it is with great humility that we announce that Win With Wind has been recognized with the 2020 Clean Energy Advocate Award from the Alliance for Clean Energy New York. Thank you ACENY.
Read MoreThis is a critical step in authorizing construction and operation of 15 wind turbines in the ocean 35 miles east of Montauk.
Read MoreMoreover, the Amagansett route would add many months, as much as an additional year, to the construction period at a time when catastrophic climate change demands urgent action.
Read MoreThe record shows that C.P.W.’s Atlantic Avenue route is not a viable route and would negatively affect the reliability of the electric system.
Read MoreSouth Fork Wind has the support of Win With Wind and many environmental organizations both local and national, as well as the New York State authorities reviewing the project.
Read MoreWhen/if it comes to a vote, every sensible Wainscott resident should turn out to turn it down.
Read More“Based on the foregoing, the Department supports the Joint Proposal and respectfully requests the Commission adopt the Joint Proposal and associated settlement documents without modification, as agreed to by the signatory parties.”
Read MoreFor Immediate Release
Read MoreClimate change is upon us. Temperatures and sea levels are rising, forest fires are wreaking havoc on the West coast, hurricanes are becoming more frequent and more severe.
Read MoreBeach Lane in Wainscott, and its beautiful beach at the end of the road, have been identified as the preferred site for the onshore transmission line. Underground entry of the cable would be accomplished by utilizing horizontal directional drilling, a proven advanced technology that would bury the cable 30 feet with minimal disturbance to the beach.
Read MoreWind power is the most environmentally friendly source of electricity generation.
Read MoreThe electricity from the wind turbines will provide power to 70,000 homes. How much diesel and gas would it take to produce that much electricity? If C.P.W. succeeds in their ill-conceived plan, they will deprive us on the East End of cleaner air and a cleaner ocean. Why are they doing this?
Read MoreIf Wainscott chooses to be a village, taxes must increase to pay for that new layer of government.
Read MoreEast Hampton Town sought and received over 5 million dollars in grant funds to help offset the costs of the installation of 8-1/2 miles of water mains throughout Wainscott. The rest of the costs were shared by the whole Town.
Read MoreC.P.W. is stretching to find any reason to justify incorporating Wainscott. Incorporation will cause taxes to go up in Wainscott and will not give any leverage to Wainscott in the airport noise discussion.
Read MoreThe teams of lawyers and national marketing agencies and engineers that they can afford cost more than yearly salaries for some. Will you forgo your equal representation in town government?
Read MoreThe allegations, intended to make the case for the creation of a new village government for Wainscott, were numerous, and either totally false or grossly misrepresented the facts.
Read MoreFirst of all, the cable will be under Beach Lane, as the water mains are under our roads. And, second, the transmission line is 138 kV. Not 230, not 460. C.P.W. knows this. And, third, the cable is decidedly not throughout Wainscott. It will be a singular route, one underground path to the substation at Cove Hollow. And like the water mains that actually do run throughout Wainscott, you will never see the transmission cable.
Read MoreIn the Jan. 16 edition of The East Hampton Star several unfortunate letters to the editor were published from people who are against Deepwater/Eversource/Orsted’s wind project cable landing at Beach Lane in Wainscott.
