Sunrise Wind nears completion of 17.5-mile cable from Holbrook to Smith Point
Amid ongoing federal scrutiny of wind power, the Sunrise Wind project is moving closer to completion of its 17.5-mile onshore cable in Brookhaven, while a ship is due off the coast of Smith Point this weekend to begin work on the undersea cable.
A recent map and progress report indicates that contractor Haugland Group is well along toward finishing the work of getting encasing cable for the 924-megawatt wind-farm project from a new receiver station in Holbrook along the Long Island Expressway to Horse Block Road and down William Floyd Parkway to Smith Point.
