Wind Energy – USA
Ørsted and Eversource are working with Boskalis for the foundation and offshore substations transportation and installation work for the joint venture’s South Fork Wind and Revolution Wind projects, as well as scour protection installation contracts for its Revolution Wind and Sunrise Wind projects.
“The contract for this work was finalized in late 2021. The more than 1.7-gigawatt portfolio of projects serving Rhode Island, Connecticut, and New York is expected to produce enough renewable energy for more than a million homes in the Northeast, with all projects operational by the end of 2025,” Ørsted said.
The contracts will support the training and employment of American workers and will utilize a sizable fleet of US vessels. This fleet includes, but is not limited to, protected species observer vessels, platform supply vessels, barges, and tugs.
Under the contracts, Boskalis will manage transport and installation of three offshore substations and the XXL monopiles for the South Fork Wind and Revolution Wind projects. Boskalis will also install scour protection for the Revolution Wind and Sunrise Wind projects.
The contracts will also support the opening of a new Boskalis office located in Providence, Rhode Island, expanding Boskalis’s US footprint.
