Decades after Europe, turning blades send first commercial #OffshoreWind power onto US grid

"Danish wind energy developer Ørsted and the utility Eversource announced the first electricity from what will be a 12-turbine wind farm called #SouthForkWind 35 miles (56 kilometers) east of #MontaukPoint, New York. It will be #NewYork’s first offshore wind farm."

Decades after Europe, turning blades send first commercial offshore wind power onto US grid

Off the coast of eastern Long Island, an 800-foot tall turbine has begun sending electricity onto the U.S. grid from what’s set to be the country’s first commercial offshore wind farm. It’s a milestone many years in the making and at the same time a modest advance in what experts say needs to be a major buildout of this type of clean electricity to address climate change. Danish wind energy developer Ørsted and the utility Eversource announced Wednesday the first power from what will be a 12-turbine wind farm called South Fork Wind, 35 miles (56 kilometers) east of Montauk Point, New York. By early next year, it will be able to generate 132 megawatts to power more than 70,000 homes.

They completed installation of two turbines around 35 miles off #Montauk, with all 12 SG 11-200 DD #SiemensGamesa #offshorewind turbines expected to be installed by early 2024. The 130MW South Fork Wind will be US’s first completed utility-scale wind farm in federal waters. Eliminating 6M tons of #carbon #emissions, equivalent to 60,000 cars annually over a 25yr period

"The task is immense in every dimension, including distance, time and cost. Out in the ocean, more than 30 miles east of Montauk Point, the mission is to erect a dozen towers and attach 318-foot-long fiberglass blades to each of them. Imagine the 50-story General Motors Building with three Statues of Liberty rotating around the top, attached by the tips of their torches."

The first US-built #offshorewind #substation is complete and headed to #SouthForkWind off #NewYork– a major milestone for the US #offshore #wind industry.
Offshore substations collect and stabilize power that the wind turbines generate, preparing it for transmission to shore. South Fork Wind’s 1,500-ton, 60-foot-tall substation was designed and engineered in Kansas, and built near #CorpusChristi by #KiewitOffshoreServices, the largest offshore fabricator in the US.

Happy New Year from Wainscott Beach! What you don't see offshore is Jill, the liftboat, because the horizontal directional drilling work finished more than a month ahead of schedule. There's more work to be done!
