Offshore Wind Major Component Manufacturing Port Infrastructure Request (RFQL 5897)

Offshore Wind Major Component Manufacturing Port Infrastructure Request (RFQL 5897)

Due Date: 1/13/2025

This Request for Qualifications (RFQL) constitutes Phase I of a two-phase process through which New York State seeks to competitively award funding to support major component manufacturing for the offshore wind industry at port sites in New York State. Through Phase I (this RFQL), New York State expects to pre-qualify multiple ports for participation in Phase II based on various attributes of the ports and their ability to support offshore wind major component manufacturing. Phase II will consist of a Request for Proposals (RFP), whereby ports qualified through the RFQL will partner with offshore wind major component manufacturers to seek available funding. At least $300 million is expected to be made available for the Phase II RFP that is planned for release by NYSERDA in the first quarter of 2025. This RFQL is being issued to complement the build out of the Offshore Wind Standard program in recognition of the critical role the supply chain plays in attaining the goals of the Climate Act.
