This past weekend, the Bluepoint Wind team joined Newark’s Office of Sustainability for their tree planting effort 🌱 around the Ironbound section of Newark. This initiative was part of the City of Newark’s larger effort to combat urban heat island effect 🥵 and cultivate greener neighborhoods. This tree-mendous 🌳 effort was carried out by local volunteers, Rutgers University students, and members of the Ironbound district! Bluepoint Wind be-leafs in participating in local initiatives to make our communities greener 🍃 and more sustainable. We hope to see you at the next Newark tree planting 🌱 ! 

Thank you to The African American Chamber of Commerce of New Jersey (AACCNJ) for hosting this important conversation. Be sure to tune in next week!

This time last week our Bluepoint Wind team travelled down the Jersey coast to Atlantic City for the 7th annual Time for Turbines. Bluepoint Wind is pleased to have been a sponsor of this year’s conference and prior years’. Our project’s CEO, John Dempsey, also joined a panel of fellow offshore wind NY Bight lessees to discuss the future of wind energy in the #GardenState. It was great to hear from such a diversity of stakeholders from state leaders, including NJ first lady Tammy Murphy, to organized labor, environmental justice leaders, and local suppliers, on their hopes for the future development of the industry. It’s an exciting time to be a part of offshore wind as we lay the groundwork for New Jersey’s clean energy future. Thank you to #JerseyRenews for another stellar conference!

Today, Bluepoint Wind honors the rich history, resilience and achievements of Indigenous cultures over generations. Indigenous Peoples Day reminds us to reflect on their enduring legacies and to listen to, learn from, and uplift Indigenous voices.

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.
