Construction has begun on the $861 million South Brooklyn Marine Terminal, a site that officials in New York believe will become one of the nation’s largest offshore wind ports. The 73-acre port will become a hub for Equinor’s Empire Wind offshore wind project located between 15 and 30 miles southeast of Long Island. The first phase, Empire Wind I, will consist of 56 turbines capable of powering 500,000 homes upon completion in 2026. “We are proud to restore this historic working waterfront in Brooklyn and grateful for the shared commitment to offshore wind shown by this community and by city, state and federal leaders who made this milestone possible,” said Molly Morris, president of Equinor Renewables Americas. The port facility will be used as a staging and pre-assembly site for Empire Wind I turbine components. It also will have shoreside infrastructure to connect power generated by the turbines directly into the New York City power grid, according to Equinor. Later, once the turbines are built, the port will serve as an operations and maintenance hub for the project. In that capacity, it will be a home base for technicians that travel frequently between the port and offshore turbines and specialized vessels that support that work. The port also will have an advanced shore power system to support the first plug-in hybrid service operations vessel in the United States, according to a news release from New York City Mayor Eric Adams. He estimated the project will create about 1,000 jobs. “Together with our recent acquisition of the Brooklyn Marine Terminal in nearby Red Hook,” Adams said in a statement, “we are well on our way to reimagining Brooklyn’s working waterfront for the 21st century, powered by the green economy and through our ‘Green Economy Action Plan’ that will help create jobs and opportunity for generations to come.”Previous PostConstruction underway on Brooklyn offshore wind port
