Becoming the first communities in NYS to be powered by offshore wind is a once-in-a lifetime opportunity. We are independent & non-partisan.
The first of twelve turbines to be installed by South Fork Wind 35 miles out at sea east of Montauk Point is turning and generating electricity for East Hampton. It's happening right now. #offshorewind #GreenEnergy
NEW LONDON, CONN. – November 1, 2023 – South Fork Wind has shipped the first offshore wind turbine from the Port of New London, Connecticut, to the project’s offshore site, marking the start of the final construction phase for this historic, New York-first offshore wind farm.
South Fork Wind completes the momentous work readying the *first* turbine for loadout from the Port of New London.

Sound wall removed from Beach Lane and a new road laid down above the export cable for South Fork Wind.
This morning, a third of a mile off of Beach Lane in Wainscott is 28 miles of cable onboard the Livingstone, the large green vessel (see photo). The cable will be pulled under the beach and connected to an underground vault in the road.
Once the cable is connected the ship will make its way east by southeast laying down the rest of the cable on the ocean floor. Then it will head to South Carolina to pick up another 28 miles of cable.
What a feat of engineering!
Wainscott Northwest Road, repaved.
Four feet under this road is a cable that will connect 12 wind turbines off of Montauk Point to the Cove Hallow substation in East Hampton.
