Wind turbine installation on Dominion Energy’s 2.6 gigawatt (GW) Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind-Commercial (CVOW-C) Project has started with the first of the project’s 176 Siemens Gamesa 14 megawatt (MW) wind turbines currently being erected. The work is being carried out by the wind turbine installation vessel (WTIV) Charybdis, the first Jones Act-compliant WTIV, commissioned by Dominion Energy and built at Seatrium’s AmFELS shipyard in Brownsville, Texas. With 176 Siemens Gamesa 14 MW wind turbines and an installed capacity of 2.6 GW, once operational, CVOW-C will become the biggest US offshore wind farm and one of the biggest in the world.
