Leading Light Wind

About the Project

Leading Light Wind is an American-led offshore wind project that will bring locally sourced renewable energy to the East Coast. Developed by Invenergy and New York-based energyRe, we believe in empowering the communities where we live and work.

Developed by Invenergy and New York-based energyRe, Leading Light Wind will build on our track record of innovation in sustainable American infrastructure and impactful community engagement to advance public health, create good-paying jobs, and support our local supply chain.

In early 2022, Leading Light Wind acquired lease OSC-A 0542 from The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), with a winning bid of $645 million. The 84,000-acre lease is located 40 miles east of Atlantic City and 80 miles south of Long Island.

Environmental Stewardship

Leading Light Wind takes pride in being a responsible developer and steward of the environment. To avoid and minimize impacts to wildlife and other natural resources, we work with state and federal agencies and other interested stakeholders to site, build, and operate our projects responsibly.

The cornerstone of that effort for Leading Light Wind includes robust pre-construction wildlife and habitat surveys, communicating early and often with wildlife agencies, and operational monitoring to ensure risk to all wildlife surrounding our project is minimized.
