Alstom has announced a contract to supply 5 Haliade 150-6MW offshore wind turbines for Deepwater Wind's 30MW Block Island pilot Wind Farm located off the coast of Rhode Island, USA.
The company will manufacture the Haliade 150-6MW direct drive wind turbines and provide 15 years of operation and maintenance support for the Block Island Wind Farm owned and operated by Deepwater Wind. The Block Island project could lead to a larger utility-scale offshore wind farm of more than 1GW supported by a regional transmission system linking Long Island, New York and South-eastern New England.
