NEW LONDON, Conn. -- Off the coast of eastern Long Island, an 800-foot tall turbine has begun sending electricity onto the U.S. grid from whats set to be the countrys first commercial offshore wind farm.

Despite some recent financial setbacks, U.S. offshore windpower has hit a milestone. An 800-foot tall turbine is now sending electricity onto the grid from a commercial-scale offshore wind farm on pace to be the country's

Off Long Island, a turbine has begun adding electricity to the U.S. grid from what is likely to be the country's first commercial offshore wind farm.

When completed early next year, the wind farm will be able to generate 132 megawatts of offshore wind energy to power more than 70,000 homes.

The first electricity is flowing from South Fork Wind, a farm that will eventually be made up of 12 turbines, in the waters east of Montauk Point.

“New York’s nation-leading efforts to generate reliable, renewable clean energy have reached a major milestone,” New York Gov. Governor Kathy Hochul said.

It’s a milestone many years in the making and at the same time a modest advance in what experts say needs to be a major buildout of this type of clean electricity.

New York's South Fork Wind becomes the first utility-scale offshore wind farm to generate power in the US, a turning point in the country's sustainable energy sector.
