Once finished, the project will have a peak capacity of 704 megawatts, enough electricity to power roughly 350,000 homes. (While the project is supported financially through power-purchase agreements<\/a> with utilities in Connecticut and Rhode Island, the electricity it generates is distributed throughout the New England electrical grid.)<\/p>\n Assembly work on Revolution Wind is based at the State Pier in New London, where gigantic sections of turbine shafts and blades as long as a football field<\/a> are loaded onto specially-built installation vessels for transport to the offshore work area. One of those vessels, the Wind Scylla<\/a>, was positioned in the vicinity of Revolution Wind project on Thursday, according to marine traffic data.<\/p>\n The pier is also the staging area for two other \u00d8rsted projects, Sunrise Wind and South Fork Wind, both of which are contracted to supply power to Long Island. <\/p>\n Errboe also announced on Thursday that work on Sunrise Wind \u2014 the largest of the three projects at 924 megawatts \u2014 had passed the halfway point during the most recent quarter, and is on track for completion in 2027.<\/p>\n Workers have installed 77 of the 84 turbine foundations, and have fully completed 20 turbines along with the all the project’s export cables and offshore converter station, Errboe said.<\/p>\n South Fork Wind \u2014 the first and smallest of the three projects at 124 megawatts \u2014 finished construction in 2024.<\/p>\n Both Revolution Wind and Sunrise Wind faced repeated setbacks over the last year, as President Donald Trump’s administration twice ordered a halts<\/a> to offshore wind projects under development along the Atlantic coast. The administration claimed the projects had the potential to interfere with military radar, despite having undergone extensive reviews by defense officials and the federal Bureau of Ocean Energy Management.<\/p>\n Both times, developers successfully sued to lift the orders and work was allowed to resume.<\/p>\n Revolution Wind is part of a joint partnership between \u00d8rsted and Skyborn Renewables, a German offshore wind developer which purchased a 50% stake<\/a> in the project from Eversource in 2024<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/ctmirror.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/REV-WIND-UPDATE-0813-SG-01-Edit-771x578.jpg\")
Staging for wind turbines is seen at the Connecticut State Pier in New London on Thursday, Aug. 13, 2026. Revolution Wind, one of two projects based out of the site, is nearing completion, with more than 95% of components installed.<\/p>\n
