Tour the New London State Pier
Staging Site for the
1st American-built off-shore Wind Farm
What it's all about
The State Pier in New London was selected to stage assembly and delivery of
the first American-built off-shore wind farm in the Atlantic Ocean, 30 miles East of Montauk.
The Connecticut Port Authority and State of Connecticut, together with the offshore wind development joint venture of Ørsted and Eversource, have invested $310 million to redevelop the Authority’s State Pier Terminal in the Port of New London.
Ørsted and Eversource have contributed $100 million to the project.
The Terminal began assembly and marshaling operations in 2023.
South Fork Wind’s 12 turbines will generate 132 MW of clean energy, powering ~70,000 homes per year.
Every year, clean energy from South Fork Wind will eliminate CO2 emissions equivalent to those produced by 60,000 cars.
