Bruce Blakeman on Energy & Oil

 

 


Offshore wind led to highest electricity bills in the nation

Press release Feb. 20: Blakeman slammed Gov. Hochul for skyrocketing electric bills after new data revealed that the projected monthly cost impact of two offshore wind projects has climbed nearly five times higher than originally promised. "This is Kathy Hochul's energy agenda--and you're paying for it every single month," Blakeman said. "She approved massive, long-term offshore wind contracts that have ballooned to more than $14 billion, and now you are paying some of the highest electricity bills in the nation."

Hochul's administration reworked and advanced the Empire Wind and Sunrise Wind projects, despite surging construction costs and market uncertainty--locking ratepayers into 25-year subsidy agreements. "Offshore wind surcharges. Renewable mandates. Capacity charges. Hidden credits. It all lands on your electric bill," Blakeman said. "Hochul owns this affordability crisis."
