The Port of Long Beach plans to build a new terminal on up to 400 acres that when completed would be the largest floating offshore wind turbine assembly system at a U.S. seaport, officials said.
Conceptual assessment for the project, Pier Wind, is expected to complete next year, said Mario Cordero, port executive director, in an address Jan. 26. The facility would aid the state goal of producing 25 GW of offshore wind energy capacity by 2045. Turbine assemblies taller than the Eiffel Tower would be towed to wind farms in central and northern California.
