Block Island Wind Farm
In 2016, Deepwater Wind completed the first commercial offshore wind farm in the U.S., just four miles off the coast of Block Island, Rhode Island. Five massive GE/Alstom Haliade-150 turbines, each standing 600 feet tall, now rise out of the Atlantic. Together, they generate 30 megawatts of electricity — enough to power every home on Block Island, with extra energy sent back to the mainland through undersea cables.
