Simon V. Kinsella et al v. Long Island Power Authority et al,

N.Y. Supreme Court for Suffolk County, (index 621109/2021) (filed November 9, 2021)

  The case against the Long Island Power Authority (LIPA) alleges it awarded South Fork Wind LLC (formerly Deepwater Wind South Fork LLC) a contract worth $1.6 billion for the supply of energy in a non-competitive procurement process, the South Fork RFP, at vastly inflated prices despite its bid failing to meet the mandatory minimum requirements and specifications. The plaintiffs seek to annul South Fork Wind’s power purchase agreement because the award violated New York State Finance Law § 163 and General Municipal Law § 103.
