South Fork Wind is a 12-turbine, 132 MW offshore wind farm powering ~70,000 Long Island homes. But the story of South Fork Wind goes beyond turbines, megawatts, and homes powered. It’s a story of union workers, engineers, and conservationists. A story of industry, investment, and laying the foundations for America’s offshore wind infrastructure.
South Fork created roughly 1,000 jobs across five states from construction to development.
Offshore wind is powering the northeast with reliable, affordable energy while creating local jobs and generating economic development and tax revenue for New Yorkers.
