New York’s best bet for entering the era of offshore wind power is stacked up at the water’s edge in Connecticut.

    According to their website 12 turbines generating a total of 132MW => 11MW each

    So not the largest available but then again that’s likely better for cost

      Still pretty amazing. Means each turbine alone will power around 10k homes.

      whats the repercussions of this footprint wise? According to google a 2Mw turbine requires 0.006 km², so a 0.33Gwc of capacity per km². i wonder also how long does a windmill work per day, when averaged yearly …
