Ørsted and Eversource selected their preferred wind turbine model in October 2021, when they placed an order with Siemens Gamesa for 77 of its SG 11.0- 200 DD wind turbines, twelve for the South Fork Wind project, which recently delivered its first power to the national grid , and 65 for Revolution Wind.
Greek cable manufacturer Hellenic Cables, owned by Belgian Cenergy Holdings, was contracted by the joint venture to supply the inter-array cables for their South Fork Wind and Revolution Wind projects.
Once fully operational in 2025, the Revolution Wind offshore wind farm will provide 400 MW of 100 per cent renewable energy to Rhode Island and 304 MW to Connecticut .
Upon completion, the project will power more than 350,000 homes across Rhode Island and Connecticut, said the Correll Group. Additionally, it is projected to offset approximately six million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions annually.
