We’ve officially cruised out to our #OffshoreBlockParty — with five photographers— to get a closer look at Deepwater Wind’s Block Island Wind Farm, America’s first offshore wind farm. 

The farm brings together five impressive GE Haliade wind turbines that are twice as high as the Statue of Liberty, holding a 400-ton power-generating nacelle in each of their towers. The blade tips tower 600 feet above the water, and GE’s innovative gearless permanent magnet generators can each produce 6 megawatts of power. That’s a combination that has the potential to transform the renewables business both in the U.S. and abroad.
