Eversource President and Chief Executive Officer Joe Nolan said Ørsted, the Danish wind company his firm is partnering with on the South Fork Wind project, said a final investment decision was reached earlier in the day to move ahead with another joint venture, the 704-megawatt Revolution Wind project, which is expected to deliver power to sections of Connecticut and Rhode Island. The decision notice came on the same day the first load of offshore wind components were set to be shipped from New London’s deep-water port via barge to the coast of Long Island for assembly as part of the South Fork Wind project. The 130-megawatt South Fork project promises to deliver energy to 70,000 homes on Long Island with power expected to begin flowing to the grid before the end of the year.
The Revolution project is expected to generate 400 megawatts of power to Rhode Island and 304 megawatts to Connecticut.
