We own and operate the Block Island Wind Farm, America’s first offshore wind farm, and are the leading developer in the U.S. with ~5,000MW of awarded capacity through seven projects on the East Coast. Our offshore wind projects will not only deliver clean, reliable energy but bring huge opportunities for local economic growth and job creation.
Block Island Wind Farm in Rhode Island is America’s first offshore wind farm. The 30 MW, 5-turbine project began commercial operations in December 2016 and generates enough energy to power 17,000 homes.
The island, that was previously powered by 5 diesel generators which burned over 1 million gallons of fuel every year, is now powered entirely by offshore wind.
The project connects Block Island to the mainland grid for the first time. The wind farm provides reliable, renewable energy reduces the island’s electricity rates while diversifying Rhode Island’s power supply. Block Island has created a brand-new industry in Rhode Island, putting people to work building and maintaining renewable energy projects that will power the region's future.
All told, more than 300 local workers were involved with building the Block Island Wind Farm.
Ørsted completed work on the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) project for Dominion Energy in 2020.
Ørsted supported the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) work for CVOW and Dominion Energy will remain the sole owner of the turbines. The two turbines are the first ever to be installed in federal waters.

Ocean Wind 1, located off the coast of southern New Jersey, will provide clean and reliable energy, local jobs across New Jersey, and infrastructure enhancements to the Garden State.
Ørsted and PSEG are proud to present New Jersey’s first utility-scale offshore wind farm. The 1,100 MW project will provide more than half a million homes in New Jersey with clean, reliable energy.
The project will play a significant role in helping the State reach Governor Murphy’s goals of installing 7,500 MW of offshore wind capacity by 2035 and 100 percent clean energy by 2050. Together, Ocean Wind 1 and Ocean Wind 2 will deliver over 2,200 MW of offshore wind to the Garden State.
Skipjack Wind 1 & 2 are approved offshore wind farms off the Delmarva coast.
Skipjack Wind will generate clean, renewable energy for the Eastern Shore, powering ~290,000 homes in the region.
