In connection with the 1,400 MW proposal, which AE1 submitted to the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) in January 2023, the project has entered into a lease agreement with Arthur Kill Terminal (AKT) – conditional upon selection by NYSERDA – under which it will serve as a long-term master tenant of the site and assist in project development. Additionally, AE1 will develop a world-class operations and maintenance facility at the Ravenswood Generating Station in Queens (the O&M Hub). Ravenswood, owned by Rise, is New York City's largest fossil generating facility; the O&M Hub will repurpose the site's existing waterfront to provide a just transition for the facility's UWUA Local 1-2 workforce, equipping them to operate the AE1 project for decades to come.
