BIG NEWS! We’re laying the foundation for the first
#offshorewind
turbines in federal waters! Take a look at the installation of the foundations for the
#CVOW
project and see how we’re working with
@DominionEnergy
to bring clean energy to Virginia.
This weekend was monumental for the
#offshorewind
industry: the first turbine was installed in U.S. federal waters! We’re proud to work w/
@DominionEnergy
&
@SiemensGamesaNA
on
#CVOW
to advance commercial-scale offshore wind as the nation's second offshore wind farm. 🎉💨 🇺🇸
Spotted in New London: blades arriving for
@SouthForkWind
turbines! Each of these blades is over three hundred feet long and once installed later this year, one rotation of the blades can power a house for a day.
And we’re live! Thrilled to share that the
#CVOW
project we built for our partner
@DominionEnergy
has officially started generating power – an incredible step forward for the American
#offshorewind
industry. More info about how we got here in the video ⬇️ ⬇️ 💨
We’re thrilled to share that the
@SiemensGamesa
turbine components for our
#CVOW
#offshorewind
project w/
@DominionEnergy
are on their way from Europe! This is an important step toward installing the 1st turbines in federal waters – and powering Virginia’s
#cleanenergy
future! 🎉
You know what they say… Second is the best! Last week, we finished installing the 2nd turbine off the coast of Virginia in U.S. federal waters. This officially makes the
#CVOW
project w/
@DominionEnergy
and
@SiemensGamesaNA
the second
