"Biggest US Offshore Wind Project Marches Ahead Despite Trump Attacks" [1]

"Dominion’s facility off the Virginia coast is expected to deliver power early next year." 

"The largest planned offshore wind project in the U.S. is 60 percent complete and is on track to begin delivering electricity early next year.

Officials with Dominion Energy, the utility that’s building the project named Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind, said in an earnings call Friday that 134 foundations have been installed, along with all of the deepwater power cables. The project will have 176 foundations altogether. A newly built turbine installation vessel, the first American-flagged ship of its kind, is expected to arrive at the project site as early as this month, they said. It will be the vessel’s first project.

“This project remains consistent with the goal of securing American energy dominance and is part of our comprehensive, all-of-the-above strategy to affordably meet growing energy needs,” Dominion CEO Robert Blue told financial analysts on the call, echoing President Donald Trump’s energy priorities. “The project fabrication and installation are going very well, and CVOW continues to be one of the most affordable sources of energy for our customers.”"
