Long Island Power Authority has reportedly backed away from plans to build a second New York offshore wind farm with US developer Deepwater Wind.
The utility reviewed a number of potential projects including the 210MW East End wind farm before concluding it already had sufficient renewables in the pipeline, according to Newsday.
LIPA is due to report publicly on its plans this week, added the paper.
East End would be located next to the 90MW South Fork, to which LIPA has already committed as power purchaser.
It is part of the wider 1.5GW Rhode Island-Massachusetts lease area and was provisionally planned to go live in 2022.
