Project Updates

TotalEnergies has partnered with Corio Generation and Rise Light & Power (Rise), a New York-based electricity producer, for the joint development of the Attentive Energy offshore wind project off the coast of New York and New Jersey.

Corio and Rise took respective stakes of 27.7 per cent and 16.3 per cent in the Attentive Energy project. Rise will also contribute its assets and interconnection capabilities in New York City to the project. In exchange, TotalEnergies, which retains the remaining 56 per cent, received a total cash consideration of USD 420 million.

TotalEnergies secured 100 per cent of the maritime lease OCS-A 0538 at the New York Bight auction in February 2022.

The Attentive Energy project aims to develop more than 3 GW of offshore wind at the site 54 miles from New York State and 42 miles from New Jersey shores. Once built, the project will provide green electricity for more than a million homes across the two states.

Under the terms of the agreement, Rise will manage the project’s interconnection at its Ravenswood Generating Station and begin the retirement of its gas generators. The site will be transformed into a green energy hub where Attentive Energy will base its operations and maintenance activities.
