One update that our presenter, Matt Gove missed was that the price New York is paying for energy from South Fork Wind was finally released. It is averaged at $.14 cents per kilowatt. This is more than the newer projects, but less than Block Island, which was $.37 cents per kilowatt. This makes sense as the price of wind has dropped dramatically!
