Sunrise Wind LLC is the project company responsible for the Sunrise Wind offshore wind farm, a planned approximately 924‑MW development to be built in U.S. federal waters east of Long Island, New York. The project is intended to supply renewable electricity to the New York grid via a subsea export cable and onshore transmission facilities on Long Island.
The company oversees project development, permitting, procurement, construction, and future operations of the wind farm and associated transmission assets. Its work spans marine surveys, environmental reviews and mitigation planning, supply‑chain contracting, and stakeholder engagement under federal (e.g., BOEM) and New York State regulatory frameworks, including an awarded offtake with NYSERDA.
Ørsted strengthened its capital structure, completed divestments, and expanded offshore wind capacity, achieving a net profit of DKK 3.2 billion in 2025.
A U.S. court lifted a suspension, allowing the Sunrise Wind Project to restart construction, prioritizing safety and aiming to provide reliable power to New York.
Sunrise Wind seeks a preliminary injunction against a lease suspension, citing legal violations and project delays, impacting energy supply and jobs.
