The South Fork Wind farm, located approximately 35 miles off the coast of Long Island, achieved its 'steel in the water' milestone with the installation of the project's first monopile foundation, Gov. Kathy Hochul's office announced Thursday, June 22. Expected to be in operation by the end of 2023, the project will feature 12 wind turbines connected to the power grid via an underwater cable that can power 70,000 Long Island homes. It will mark the first utility-scale offshore wind farm in the United States and is one of five offshore wind projects that New York has in active development, the largest portfolio in the country.
