Energy Disrupter
Wind Energy – CVOW
Port of Virginia’s Portsmouth Marine Terminal has welcomed the arrival of the first substation to be installed at the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) project.
Dominion Energy selected the CS Wind Offshore and Semco Maritime consortium in 2021 to deliver three 880 MW offshore substations for the project, which is under development.
CVOW farm is located approximately 40 kilometers off the coast of Virginia Beach, and, once fully operational within the coming years, will include 176 wind turbines that will provide enough power to supply 660,000 Virginia households.
The substation is the first of its kind to ever arrive at a U.S. East Coast port and, at more than 4,000 tons, is the heaviest piece of equipment ever handled at the port, according to Port of Virginia.
