New York is poised to become a hub for offshore wind energy with the state on Wednesday tapping Norwegian giant Equinor ASA to build two projects in the Atlantic and develop an aging Brooklyn waterfront site into a port to handle massive turbines.
The South Brooklyn Marine Terminal will be one of the largest dedicated offshore wind port facilities in the U.S., at about 73 acres (30 hectares), with capacity for turbine staging and assembly, according to the company.
Equinor will pay for upgrades to the terminal, which will service as much as 3.3 gigawatts of offshore wind built and operated by the company and its partner, BP Plc. That’s enough to power about 2 million homes.

Vineyard Wind LLC’s decision to push back a permitting review of the $2.8 billion offshore wind farm it plans to build near Massachusetts could delay the project by more than a year, under a ruling by the U.S. Interior Department.
The department notified the developer Friday that it now considers the project’s application to be formally withdrawn and that any future effort to restart permitting would be treated as a new application, according to a Trump administration official, who asked not to be named detailing private correspondence.
It’s a blow for the 800-megawatt project, which was set to be the first large-scale wind farm in U.S. waters. Under the Interior Department’s interpretation, any new project application would have to restart an environmental review process that could span an additional six to 18 months. That analysis, however, would still be able to draw on work done this year.
