Vestas has secured an 810 MW offshore order from Equinor to power New York’s Empire Wind 1 offshore wind project. The order includes 54 V236-15.0 MW turbines and marks Vestas’ first order in the USA for an offshore platform and its V236-15.0 MW turbine.
The order encompasses the supply, delivery, and commissioning of the turbines, as well as a five-year service agreement. Turbine delivery is expected to begin in 2026, with completion scheduled for 2027.
The Empire Wind 1 project also includes the continued transformation of the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal (SBMT) in Sunset Park, New York. The SBMT will provide the infrastructure to deploy the V236-15.0 MW offshore wind turbines, including staging and pre-assembly activities such as load-in, load-out, and transportation of wind turbine components, tools, and containers before progressing towards offshore wind turbine installation and commissioning.
