New York’s state government rejected requests from offshore wind energy developers who asked to re-negotiate contracts amid elevated inflation and rising costs.

The state denial could force some developers whose contracts may not cover project costs to scrap plans to sell power to customers in New York and cancel or delay projects, as happened with some offshore wind projects in Massachusetts. Developers were looking to renegotiate contracts on four offshore wind and 86 land-based renewable projects.
