First offshore substation installed at Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind

Great strides at Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind! The first of three offshore substations has been successfully installed at the 2.6 GW CVOW project. This 3,907 metric tonne lift marks the completion of the installation of the first topside onto the jacket, which was previously installed by DEME, marking another record lift for our offshore installation vessel Orion!  

This milestone is the result of the fantastic teamwork and cooperation between all our teams, partners, subcontractors, local stakeholders and our client, Dominion Energy. Together with American suppliers and unions, we continue to push boundaries in offshore wind. 

Orion now resumes the installation of the transition pieces before moving forward with the second campaign of monopile installation, driving this large-scale offshore wind project ahead.
