Bluepoint Wind

Did you enjoy #ClimateWeekNYC 🗽? The Bluepoint Wind team sure did! This year, the team celebrated #ClimateWeekNYC by participating in panels, beach clean-ups 🌊, and supporting community events all across #NYC and #LongIsland. We joined in vibrant conversations with diverse climate leaders and industry experts on environment, sustainability, and renewable energy. ⚡ The week started with the “Accelerating the Clean Transition” reception by the Clean Energy Buyers Association (CEBA). ⚡ We then attended The New York Climate Exchange on Governor’s Island for discussions on critical #transmission upgrades. ⚡ In Queens, we heard from leaders on environmental justice at City & State’s 2nd Annual Climate Justice Forum with environmental leaders including White House National Climate Advisor Ali Zaidi and WE ACT for Environmental Justice’s Peggy Shepard. ⚡ We heard from Bluepoint Wind CEO John Dempsey as he spoke to students at NYU Law School on a panel about NY's progress towards #netzero. ⚡ We visited The Nest Climate Campus to learn about global GHG reduction efforts and spent the evening on Long Island celebrating Citizens Campaign for the Environment's 39 years of advocacy. ⚡ We wrapped up the week at UPROSE's Climate Justice Lives Here Festival in Brooklyn, where we heard from Tribal and faith leaders on inspiring local action for the climate and the #JustTransition. A major theme emerged across all these events: addressing today’s climate challenges requires collective action and a collaborative approach 🤝 from community, industry, government, and the private sector. Bluepoint Wind is committed to doing our part to support a clean energy 🍃 future for the region. What was your takeaway from Climate Week 2024?

To close out my #ClimateWeek marathon of events, I joined Association of NJ Environmental Commissions for their annual Environmental Congress on behalf of Bluepoint Wind. It was great to exhibit this year after meeting and hearing from local commissions my last go around. Big shout out to Amanda Brockwell in organizing a great event, bringing together countless NJ municipalities. Already excited for Climate Week 2025!

This #ClimateWeek, our Bluepoint Wind team joined local NYC organization, Rockaway Initiative for Sustainability & Equity , to help in their clean up of Beach 59th Street as part of their Beach Resiliency program. The team helped clear out invasive species of plants and weeds to prepare for the planting session happening this Saturday, 9/28. It was great to support RISE's efforts to promote the vibrancy of the coastal Queens community.   Our project hopes to not only bring clean power to New York and New Jersey, but to also support and take part in the resiliency efforts of local organizations already doing amazing work.   To learn more or volunteer in one of RISE Rockaway's initiatives, visit: https://lnkd.in/eGq6raGj   #ClimateWeek #CoastalResiliency #SustainableQueens

Bluepoint Wind is proud to work with the team from EnerTribe, Inc. a Native owned practice specializing in understanding the histories, needs and concerns of Tribal governments. We look forward to continuing to strengthen our relationships with Tribal governments with ties to the NY Bight.

This past week, Bluepoint Wind joined the NJ State Veterans Chamber of Commerce at their annual Veterans Business Summit. OW Ocean Winds NORTH AMERICA’s Supply Chain Manager Jonathan Salzman spoke on a panel about preparing businesses for the #offshorewind industry and making key connections with developers and Tier 1 suppliers. Our team also shared project information and industry insights throughout the day. In his role, Jonathan creates pathways for local suppliers, domestic suppliers, vessel operators, ports, and infrastructure partners to deliver on OW's offshore wind projects—and unlock local supply chains to play a key role in America’s energy transition. Through close collaboration with Tier 1 partners and creative approaches to supplier development, Jonathan helps local and diverse suppliers identify and compete for opportunities. Bluepoint Wind aims to be a leader in the offshore wind industry in New Jersey and we understand that the local supply chain is a crucial part in building these projects. #offshorewind #supplychain #cleanenergysuppliers

It’s been a blast catching up with industry colleagues, government, clean energy advocates, and other stakeholders at the Alliance for Clean Energy New York Fall Conference! From effective stakeholder engagement to building bipartisan support for clean energy, the conference offered diverse perspectives and great optimism on New York’s #cleanenergy transition. It was amazing to hear NYSERDA’s Doreen Harris declare that NY is undaunted in its commitment to a clean energy transition. Did you know NY is expected to go from 150 terawatt-hours of electricity consumption in 2023 to 230 terawatt-hours by 2050? To address climate change and the increasing demand for energy generation and reliability, we must realize what keynote speaker, Congressman Goldman, called the “imperative and opportunity” of clean energy. Thank you, Alliance for Clean Energy New York, for another great conference! Bluepoint Wind looks forward to playing a role in meeting that demand! #PoweringProgress #NewYork #CleanEnergy4All

Last week, Bluepoint Wind participated in the Town of Old Bridge's back-to-school beach bash! It was fantastic to engage with the community and address questions about offshore wind energy at the picturesque Laurence Harbor. Bluepoint Wind remains committed to community engagement, sharing information about the industry and gaining valuable feedback from local residents.
