Deepwater Wind intends to move immediately into construction of a 210MW offshore wind farm after building its 90MW South Fork project, delivering power from both wind farms to New York’s Long Island, chief executive Jeffrey Grybowski tells Recharge.

Deepwater made history last year by becoming the first developer to bring an offshore wind farm into operation in US waters, and it followed up last month by securing a power-purchase agreement with the Long Island Power Authority (LIPA) for its 90MW South Fork project – meaning it will likely be able to claim the country’s second offshore project as well.
