New York/Paris - TotalEnergies and its partners, Corio Generation (Corio) and Rise Light & Power (Rise) announce that New York State selected their Attentive Energy One project for a 25-year contract to supply 1.4 GW of renewable electricity.
Attentive Energy One, a joint venture between TotalEnergies (40%), Rise (35%) and Corio (25%), received the provisional award in the State's 2023 competitive OREC (Offshore Renewable Energy Credits) solicitation, organized by New York State Energy and Research Development Authority (NYSERDA). The Consortium aims to commission this project in 2029.
NYSERDA has put a particular emphasis on the local content of the proposal: the Attentive Energy One project will enable the construction of a new General Electric facility to manufacture offshore wind blades and nacelles and unlock $300 million in investments in various community-focused projects across New York State. It will in addition turn the Ravenswood gas-fueled power plant owned by Rise, into a clean energy hub at the heart of New York City.
The profitability of this project is ensured by the guaranteed level of OREC revenue, the benefit of a 40% IRA tax credit, the secured access to New York electricity grid brought by Rise and the local supply of turbines by General Electric at a competitive set price. Moreover, the contract awarded by NYSERDA will include an inflation adjustment mechanism to compensate for changes in construction costs until the final investment decision.
'We are honored that the State of New York chose Attentive Energy One to deliver on the promise of bringing green electricity to hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses. Together with our partners Corio and Rise, we will mobilize all our expertise to develop a major offshore wind project that will contribute to New York State's greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets,' said Vincent Stoquart, Senior Vice President Renewables at TotalEnergies. 'Thanks to this project's secured offtake price and competitive advantages such as the 40% IRA tax credit and its very competitive interconnection, Attentive Energy One project will contribute positively to our Integrated Power profitability target of 12% and to our ambition of more than 100 TWh of power generation by 2030.'
TotalEnergies had secured, in February 2022, 100% of maritime lease OCS-A 0538 at the New York Bight auction. It then partnered with New York-based electricity producer Rise and global offshore wind developer Corio to join forces in the development of the Attentive Energy offshore wind projects.
The lease's 3 GW capacity will serve two projects: Attentive Energy One, which is dedicated to deliver New York State, and Attentive Energy Two, which is dedicated to supply New Jersey. Together, these two projects aim to provide green electricity to more than a million homes across both states.
