RE: RFI OSW-2018 Comments – Large Scale Renewables Team

Dear Ms. Barton:

National Wildlife Federation strongly supports your ongoing work to advance responsibly developed offshore wind power

for New York. In that spirit, I am writing to submit the following comments on behalf of the undersigned 793 members

and supporters in New York, all eager to see a robust offshore wind industry come to fruition, while ensuring that coastal

and marine wildlife are protected every step of the way. The attached list of New Yorkers signed on to the following

statement to the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority:

I applaud Governor Cuomo's efforts to advance offshore wind power as a critical climate change solution for New

York, including the completion of a comprehensive Offshore Wind Master Plan charting a course toward our

target of 2,400 megawatts by 2030 and a near-term commitment to begin the procurement process for projects to

meet that goal this year. The environmental and economic benefits of this abundant new energy source are finally

within reach, and now we must focus on the important details of establishing a successful program to maximize

them.

As outlined in New York's Offshore Wind Master Plan, the State is developing Best Management Practices

(BMPs) to ensure protection of our ocean and marine wildlife as offshore wind projects are developed. I urge

NYSERDA to require that all project proposals follow these BMPs to ensure that New York's offshore wind

industry is one that models responsible development from the start.

New York has an opportunity to lead the nation in responsibly developing offshore wind power, and now is the

time to establish a thoughtful and holistic policy to build an enduring local industry that prioritizes benefits for

New York's workforce and communities while maintaining the highest standards of environmental protection

every step of the way.

Thank you for the opportunity to provide input. We look forward to working with you in the months and years ahead to

realize the incredible clean energy potential of responsibly developed offshore wind power for New York.

Sincerely,

Catherine Bowes

Program Director, Offshore Wind Energy
