Bay State Wind joint venture partners Orsted and Eversource have committed an additional $35m as part of a public-private initiative to upgrade a Connecticut-owned pier into a “world-class, state-of-the-art facility” for staging US northeast offshore wind projects.
Their total investment pledge is now $57.5m for the $93m project at the deepwater port of New London, with state agencies contributing the balance to upgrade its heavy-lift capacity by March 2022 for assembly of wind turbine components including towers.
