The $300-million initiative can power about 17,000 homes once all the wind turbines are up and running.
Deepwater Wind CEO Jeffrey Grybowski tweeted a photo of the five turbines on Thursday.
Workers for the developer finished the farm’s final turbine at approximately 4 p.m. on Thursday afternoon. With construction on the Deepwater company’s wind farm set to begin within three years should LIPA approve it, it would appear that the project would have no problem being aligned with the state’s plans.
Deepwater Wind says it proves that wind farms can be built along the nation’s coast. As a result, the residents benefiting from the offshore wind farm’s energy will also enjoy stronger connectivity. So construction of offshore wind farms is not new to industry professionals.
“Our untapped offshore wind energy potential is enormous and it holds the key to creating thousands of good paying clean energy careers, cleaning up the unsafe fossil fuel pollution endemic in many our coastal cities, and provides another effective solution to addressing the climate crisis”, Mary Anne Hitt, Director of Sierra Club’s Beyond Coal Campaign, said in a statement.
