The foundations for the 810 MW offshore wind farm are manufactured by Sif.
Sif rolled out the first monopile for Empire Wind 1 at its new factory in the Netherlands in November 2024 and has so far produced 30 of the total 54 monopiles and all primary steel for the transition pieces for the US project.

Empire Wind 1 will comprise 54 Vestas 15 MW turbines, which are planned to be installed using Maersk’s new Wind Installation Vessel (WIV) that was recently launched to sea at Seatrium’s shipyard in Singapore.
Located 25-48 kilometres southeast of Long Island, the Empire Wind 1 offshore wind farm is planned to produce first power in late 2026, with full commissioning in 2027. With a generation capacity of 810 MW, the offshore wind farm will power 500,000 New York City households, according to Equinor.
