Federal, state and local officials announced the start of construction of the South Fork Wind project at a press event in Wainscott Friday. 

The project from Ørsted and Eversource is the state’s first offshore wind installation and will put a dozen wind turbines about 35 miles east of Montauk Point. Its transmission system will deliver energy directly to the electric grid in the Town of East Hampton and is expected to be operational in late 2023. Click here to read more.
