Developer Dominion is leading a consortium that will sail out the first US-flagged turbine installation vessel “fully compliant” with the Jones Act for 12MW-plus machines as the utility looks to double its offshore wind commitment to 5.2GW by 2035.
Executives from the Virginian power company said the vessel will enter service in 2023 and be funded by consortium participants, which they did not name, and possibly third parties.
