The installation of a substation foundation for the South Fork Wind project off the East End of Long Island has been hailed as a major milestone by government officials, union leaders and utility executives.
The installation of the first monopile foundation marks the start of the offshore installation phase of the 12-turbine, 130-megawatt wind farm, which will be the first completed offshore wind farm in federal waters, with operations beginning by the end of the year, according to Ørsted and Eversource, the companies behind the South Fork Wind project.
