Offshore wind power

As electricity demand grows across the Northeast, Ørsted’s offshore wind projects are strengthening the region's energy supply.

Delivering affordable, reliable electricity


Ørsted is a leading generator of offshore wind energy in the U.S. We develop, build, own and operate projects that generate power for homes, business, and communities while creating jobs, supporting local economies and investing in American infrastructure.

Offshore wind projects


Ørsted's U.S. offshore wind portfolio includes two projects in full commercial operation and two projects advancing toward completion.

Block Island Wind Farm and South Fork Wind are generating electricity for homes and businesses today. Revolution Wind is already delivering first power to Rhode Island and Connecticut while construction continues, and Sunrise Wind construction is well underway, with several key scopes already complete.

Together, these projects represent our long-term commitment to generating power, investing in energy infrastructure, and supporting local economic growth in the Northeast.

How offshore wind works


Offshore wind projects generate electricity from the steady winds found at sea and deliver that power to the electric grid onshore.

Learn how offshore wind turbines work, how power is transmitted to shore, and how offshore wind contributes to the region's energy supply.
