A new American industry underway in Port of New London

Offshore wind turbine blades, nacelles, and towers have been arriving at State Pier in the Port of New London over the past few months in preparation for partial assembly at the facility. The components will be shipped later this year to the South Fork Wind Farm site 35 miles east of Montauk Point, Long Island, where the 12 completed turbines will produce enough energy to power 70,000 homes.
