Vestas to supply turbines for 810 MW Offshore wind farm in USA

Vestas has secured an order to supply 54 V236-15.0 MW turbines to Equinor to power New York’s 810 MW Empire Wind 1 offshore wind project.

The order includes supply, delivery, and commissioning of the turbines, as well as a five-year comprehensive service agreement, designed to ensure optimized performance of the asset followed by a long-term service support agreement. The project also includes the continued transformation of the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal (SBMT) in Sunset Park, New York. The SBMT will provide the infrastructure to deploy the V236-15.0 MW offshore wind turbines, including the staging and pre-assembly activities such as load-in, load-out, and transportation of wind turbine components, tools and containers before progressing towards offshore wind turbine installation and commissioning.

The wind facility will consist of up to 130+ wind turbines which cover an area of 80,000 acres and is located southeast of Long Island, USA. Once operational it will generate 2.1 GWh of renewable energy enough to power 1,000,000 New York homes annually.

Turbine delivery is expected to begin in 2026 with completion scheduled for 2027.
