RI's offshore wind industry makes major announcement. Rhode Island’s leadership in the offshore wind industry took another major step forward as joint-venture partners Ørsted and Eversource announced they are taking the first steps toward transforming ProvPort into a regional offshore wind hub. The two companies announced that they will be developing a new advanced foundation component facility to support the assembly of the developers’ portfolio of Northeast offshore wind farms. The new 228-foot long facility will be used for advanced fabrication and assembly of foundation platforms for Ørsted and Eversource’s offshore wind projects serving Rhode Island, Connecticut, and New York. This facility will further develop Rhode Island’s offshore wind industry and contribute to the state’s growing blue economy.GET THE LATEST BREAKING NEWS HERE -- SIGN UP FOR GOLOCAL FREE DAILY EBLAST
