Equinor and bp sign offshore wind agreement

Equinor and its partner bp have announced an agreement to turn the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal (SBMT) complex in Brooklyn, New York, US into a major regional hub for offshore wind.

Under the agreement, the terminal will transform into an offshore wind port capable of staging and assembling large, sophisticated offshore wind technology components for the Empire Wind and Beacon Wind projects and for the growing US offshore industry on the east coast.

The agreement was co-signed by terminal operator Sustainable South Brooklyn Marine Terminal (SSBMT) and New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC).

The offshore wind projects on the US east coast are key building blocks to accelerate profitable growth in renewables, and Equinor’s ambition is to install 12 - 16 GW of renewables capacity by 2030.

Equinor and bp will create an operations and maintenance (O&M) hub and staging area at SBMT, with a total investment of US$200 million - US$250 million in infrastructure upgrades, while also pursuing the development of SBMT as a low-emissions facility. The port will become a staging facility for Equinor and bp’s Empire Wind and Beacon Wind projects that will supply 3.3 GWs of energy – enough to power nearly two million New York homes – as well as becoming a go-to destination for future offshore wind projects in the region.

The redevelopment will inject the Sunset Park waterfront with substantial investment from the new renewable energy economy, creating new jobs and providing an economic boost to the community. Equinor and bp’s activities at SBMT are anticipated to support over 1000 jobs annually in the region.

“This agreement marks a major step forward in our commitment to New York State to both provide renewable power and to spark fresh economic activity, while creating enduring jobs,” said Siri Espedal Kindem, President of Equinor Wind US.
