Revolution Wind generators arrive in New London

The first generator components, or “nacelles” for the Revolution Wind offshore wind farm arrived at State Pier in New London early Wednesday. Revolution Wind, a joint project of Eversource and Ørsted that uses State Pier as its turbine-assembly headquarters, announced in May that it had hit the first milestone along the way toward creating clean power for more than 350,000 homes in Connecticut and Rhode Island. That month, the project began installing its first turbine foundation about 35 miles off the Connecticut coast between Block Island and Martha’s Vineyard. The project when fully operational will produce 400 megawatts of offshore wind power in Rhode Island and 304 megawatts in Connecticut. By comparison, the Millstone nuclear power plants in Waterford produce a combined 2,100 megawatts annually.
