Dominion Energy has stated that the 2.6GW Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) project is now approximately 50% complete and remains on track for on-time completion at the end of 2026.
CVOW is credited with creating 2,000 direct and indirect American jobs and $2 billion of economic activity.
CVOW continues to achieve significant construction milestones including the successful installation of the first 16 transition pieces which serve as the junction between the foundation and tower for each of the 176 wind turbines.
Delivery of the first of three 4,300-ton offshore substations to the Portsmouth Marine Terminal in Virginia Beach occurred at the end of January.
Fully fabricated monopiles, transition pieces, undersea cable and other major components continue to be delivered in preparation for on-schedule installation. Wind turbine tower and blade fabrication is now underway, with nacelle fabrication to begin later this quarter.
SiemensGamesa, the project’s wind turbine supplier, is manufacturing the same turbine model for CVOW as has been successfully fabricated, installed, and is now operating at the Moray West offshore wind project.
Charybdis, the American built, flagged, and crewed, wind turbine installation vessel is now 96% complete and has commenced sea trials in Brownsville, Texas.
