4C is now TGS
We are excited to announce a significant milestone in 4C Offshore's journey. Our integration into the TGS family marks the beginning of a new era in offshore wind market intelligence.
On the 28th June local stevedores began offloading the 15 blades at the Providence port facility. The blades, and the tower sections that have already been assembled there, are scheduled to travel by boat to the Block Island wind farm site at the beginning of August.
GE is supplying the 6-megawatt Haliade 150 offshore wind turbines for the Block Island wind farm. The blades were built in Denmark by GE’s subcontractor, LM Wind Power.
Meanwhile, installation of the submarine cables for the wind farm and the Island’s new connection to the mainland are making significant progress: The 6.5-mile submarine cable connecting the wind farm to Block Island has been installed. In addition, National Grid’s 17-mile sea2shore cable connection between Block Island and mainland Rhode Island reached a major milestone last week with the successful landing of the cable on Block Island’s shore. In July, Deepwater Wind will complete the cable connections between the wind turbines themselves.
