New York State pursued partnerships with Ireland and Denmark to improve its electric grids and enable more renewable energy resources such as offshore wind.
On Monday, Governor Andrew Cuomo announced that he signed two separate memorandums of understanding (MoUs) with both countries.
The first agreement with Ireland’s utility and grid operators provides plans to create and test new technologies for New York State’s first collaborative power grid research lab.
The second agreement expands the existing partnership between the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) and the Danish Ministry of Energy, Utilities and Climate for the development and procurement of offshore wind energy.
Advancing New York States’ efforts to fight climate change
New York State’s agreements will help advance its initiatives to combat climate change. Gov. Cuomo announced it during the Global Climate Strike of young people demanding real solutions to prevent climate change and protect our planet.
