Norwegian energy giant Equinor has christened its giant 2GW offshore wind power project in the US Atlantic as Beacon Wind.

Located on the lease won by the company for $135m in 2018, the newly named project’s construction site, sprawled across 128,000 acres in federal waters some 20 miles off Massachusetts and 70 miles from New York state, is to be developed into an offshore plant to supply up to 1 million New England homes at full power.
