Block Island Wind Farm is an offshore wind farm under construction expected to be the first one built in the United States. It is located 3 miles (4.8 km) from Block Island, Rhode Island in the Atlantic Ocean. The five-turbine, 30-MW project is being developed by Deepwater Wind which plans to erect the Alstom Haliade 150 6-MW turbines in late summer 2016 and launch commercial operations in the fourth quarter of 2016. It will be the largest project using wind power in Rhode Island.
