Governors Wind Energy Coalition Developers agree to fewer turbines in proposed offshore wind farm Source: By Alex Kuffner, The Providence Journal • Posted: Wednesday, May 26, 2021 PROVIDENCE  The developers of the South Fork Wind Farm are set to reduce the number of turbines from 15 to 12 in response to a request from Rhode Island coastal regulators who want to minimize disruption to the marine environment and the state’s fishing industry. At a meeting of the state Coastal Resources Management Council on Tuesday, Ørsted, the Denmark-based offshore wind company, and its partner Eversource, a regional electric utility, will formally agree to use more powerful turbines that would allow them to cut down on the number  needed while still maintaining the same, approximately 132-megawatt capacity of the wind farm.
