An operational wind turbine at the South Fork Wind Farm in the Atlantic Ocean, off Long Island, New York, on Dec. 7, 2023.
farm is officially open, a long-awaited moment that helps pave the way for a succession of large wind farms.
“It’s great to be first, we want to make sure we’re not the last. That’s why we’re showing other states how it can be done, why we're moving forward, on to other projects,” Hochul told The Associated Press in an exclusive interview before the announcement. With South Fork finished, Ørsted and Eversource are turning their attention to the work they will do offshore beginning this spring for a wind farm more than five times its size. Revolution Wind will be Rhode Island and Connecticut’s first commercial-scale offshore wind farm, capable of powering more than 350,000 homes next year. The site where the cable will connect in Rhode Island is already under construction.
Ørsted, formerly DONG Energy, for Danish Oil and Natural Gas, started aggressively building wind farms off the coast of Denmark, the U.K. and Germany in 2008. The company sold off the North Sea oil and gas assets on which it had built its identity to focus on clean energy, becoming Ørsted. It’s now one of the biggest wind power developers.
Last year brought challenges for the nascent U.S. offshore wind industry, as Ørsted and other developers canceled projects in the Northeast that they said were no longer financially feasible. High inflation, supply chain disruptions and the rising cost of capital and building materials were making projects more expensive as developers were trying to get the first large U.S. offshore wind farms opened.
