Jacobs, top-rated engineering firm, chosen to detail-design Brooklyn wind turbine assembly facility
Construction slated to begin 2023
Jacobs Engineering has been selected by Empire Offshore Wind, a joint venture between Equinor and BP plc, for the detail design of the city-owned South Brooklyn Marine Terminal in Sunset Park.
The facility will serve as an operations and maintenance base and staging and assembly port for wind turbine installation.
Operations at South Brooklyn Marine Terminal (SBMT) will support the Empire Wind and Beacon Wind offshore wind farms that are in development off the coast of Long Island. Once completed, the projects are projected to reduce carbon emissions while providing clean energy to more than 2 million New York homes.
