"New York's South Fork Wind Farm Powers Up as First Large-Scale Offshore Project"

America's first commercial-scale offshore wind farm, South Fork Wind, is officially open 35 miles east of Montauk Point, New York, marking a turning point for the industry and paving the way for a succession of large wind farms. The project, developed by Ørsted and Eversource, can generate 132 megawatts of offshore wind energy to power more than 70,000 homes. With the Biden administration's approval of six commercial-scale offshore wind energy projects, and New York's selection of two more projects to power over 1 million homes, offshore wind is central to national and state plans to transition to a carbon-free electricity system.
