How offshore wind works

Offshore_Illustration_053123_smaller.png

  1. 1

    Offshore wind turbines capture the wind’s energy and generate electricity. Offshore wind speeds are often higher on average and more sustained, delivering more clean power during peak demand when compared to land-based renewables.

  2. 2

    Foundations, either bottom-fixed or floating in design, secure the wind turbines to the ocean floor. A network of power cables link the wind turbines together and deliver power to the offshore substation.

  3. 3

    The offshore substation collects and stabilizes the power generated by the turbines, preparing it for transmission to shore.

  4. 4

    The export cable is buried in the seabed and transmits power onshore.

  5. 5

    The onshore substation increases the voltage of the electricity and ensures compliance with the grid.

  6. 6

    Electricity travels through transmission lines.

  7. 7

    Transformer decreases voltage of electricity.

  8. 8

    Electricity is delivered to customers through collection lines.

Why offshore wind

Offshore wind farms are a reliable and important domestic source of renewable energy. They offset a considerable amount of CO2 and are designed to minimize environmental impact. Offshore wind projects can be built to help sustain marine life and facilitate environmental research.
We're bringing our decades-long track record of community partnership to these projects and engaging directly with local coastal communities, fisheries and maritime stakeholders, labor unions, Tribal Nations, and other interested groups to ensure community input throughout the entirety of development process of our offshore wind projects.

Leading Light Wind
Invenergy was awarded an offshore wind lease in the New York Bight through the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management auction in February 2022. As lead developer, Invenergy in partnership with our co-sponsor, New York-based energyRe, will advance development of the project and the clean energy transition across the region, creating green jobs and building a domestic supply chain.

Even Keel Wind
Invenergy secured a more than 80,000-acre seabed lease off the California coast from the U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management’s offshore wind lease auction in December 2022. The lease doubles Invenergy’s offshore wind portfolio and, as the only American-owned company to win at the auction, the project helps position Invenergy as a leading offshore wind developer.
