Located 25-48 kilometres (15-30 miles) southeast of Long Island, Empire Wind 1 is the first offshore wind farm to connect to New York City’s grid. The project will comprise 54 Vestas 15 MW wind turbines and is planned to produce first power in late 2026, with full commissioning in 2027.
The project has the potential for delivering power to half a million New York homes, and is approximately 30 per cent complete, according to the developer.
Equinor said it is complying with the order and is seeking dialogue with the proper authorities and assessing legal options. As of 31 March 2025, Empire Wind had a gross book value of around USD 2.5 billion, including South Brooklyn Marine Terminal (SBMT) .
