Description of goods to services to be bid:

NYSERDA has launched Request for Information (RFI) 5166 to engage with interested stakeholders to understand potential constraints to siting offshore wind energy cables in the nearshore environment (New York State waters), at landfall, and along overland areas.

NYSERDA has developed an?Offshore Wind?Cable?Corridor?Constraints Assessment (“Assessment”) to better understand the limitations to siting cables in New York State waters, at landfall, and along overland routes to existing points of interconnection (POIs). The Assessment analyzes and evaluates potential constraints to cables, as well as minimization and mitigation options, to support future decision-making and policy development to achieve New York State’s goals and mandates and allow for commercial innovation. The Assessment seeks to advance coordination and planning efforts by building on existing work and previous studies. The Assessment has also incorporated coordination with New York State agencies and ongoing and earnest engagement with key stakeholders. The Assessment will inform actions New York State may consider to ensure maximum benefits of renewable offshore wind energy while minimizing conflicts and impacts on activities and infrastructure. NYSERDA seeks to gather information on several questions to confirm the accuracy and accessibility of the Assessment.

There is no funding associated with this RFI.
