NYSERDA Unveils Ambitious $300 Million Maritime Port Enhancement Initiative

The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) has announced a significant $300 million investment aimed at enhancing maritime port infrastructure. The initiative focuses on improvements such as load-bearing capacity, wharf extensions, and offshore wind logistics support. Round one proposals are due by March 26, 2026.

The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) has unveiled a substantial $300 million solicitation to bolster maritime port development and improvements. This strategic move is designed to enhance the load-bearing capacity and elongate the length of wharfs, facilitating offshore wind manufacturing, staging, and logistics.

The initiative outlines plans to repurpose $200 million originally allocated for the 2024 Offshore Wind Supportive Manufacturing and Logistics Solicitation. This adjustment underscores NYSERDA's commitment to supporting renewable energy infrastructure and operational efficiency within the maritime sector.

Stakeholders intending to participate in this ambitious project must submit their final proposals for the first round of solicitation by 3:00 P.M. ET on March 26, 2026.
