All foundations and almost 70 per cent of wind turbines have been installed on the Revolution Wind offshore wind farm in the US. The project’s offshore substation is also scheduled to be installed over the coming days.

In an update provided as part of its H1 2025 results, Ørsted, which owns the project together with Skyborn Renewables , said the 704 MW offshore wind farm, which will provide electricity to Connecticut and Rhode Island, remains on track for commissioning in the second half of 2026 .

The first of Revolution Wind’s 65 Siemens Gamesa SG 11.0-200 DD wind turbines was installed in September 2024.

During the second quarter of this year, all turbine foundations and nearly 70 per cent of the turbines were installed, leading to the project’s completion of around 80 per cent.

All 65 wind turbines are expected to be installed by the end of this year.

The project, which already faced a couple of construction challenges, has recently encountered another one, but it did not affect its timeline to completion, according to the developer.

“In June, damage to one of the installation vessel’s legs was identified, and thus a need arose for the vessel to go into harbour for inspections. The inspection and repair work were carried out efficiently by the team over the course of five weeks, and the vessel has since returned to service at sea. There is no expected impact to the commissioning of the project” , Ørsted’s CEO Rasmus Errboe said in an earnings call on 11 August.
