US offshore wind terminal reaches milestone – but so much more needed to hit Biden's goal

The terminal at Port of New London in the US state Connecticut has reached a critical milestone with completion of its offshore wind wharf, readying it for staging this spring of the 130MW South Fork offshore wind array.

The 40-acre (16 ha) State Pier Terminal is undergoing a $250m upgrade, including $75m invested by South Fork's developers, Orsted-Eversource, to serve as one of the nation's foremost offshore wind marshalling and assembly ports.
