For instance, since no U.S. ship was capable of hoisting the 400 - ton nacelles, or generators, 330 feet to the tops of the Block
Island turbine towers, Deepwater Wind had to lease a Norwegian vessel to do the job.
Installation of the Block
Island Wind Farm's
turbine towers, blades and nacelles is scheduled to begin in early August at the project site, roughly three miles off the coast of Block
Island, Rhode
Island.
