The proposed Long Island Offshore Wind Park
 Located southeast of Jones Beach State Park and southwest of Robert Moses State Park, the wind park will consist of 40 wind turbines, each capable of producing 3.6 MW of pollution-free electricity. The state-of-the-art turbines will be approximately 3.6 miles from the nearest shoreline with no noise impact.

The facility will generate enough energy to power approximately 44,000 homes.
Each turbine rotor has three blades approximately 182 ft. long. Turbine towers are sleek tubular structures approximately 260 ft. high. Turbines can produce electricity at wind speeds as low as 8 miles per hour (mph) and reach their peak production between27 and 36 mph. The turbines shut down at wind speeds beyond 56 mph.
Fuel & Emissions Savings
The Wind Park will generate enough electricity to offset significant amounts of air emissions every year, including an estimated:
489 tons of sulfur dioxide
221 tons of nitrogen oxide
235,000 tons of carbon dioxide
(that's equivalent to 1/2 Billion car miles avoided)
Over 20 years, we will save the equivalent of 13.5 Million Barrels of Oil, a savings of over $1 Billion (at $75/barrel)
