A project to build a 400-acre offshore wind turbine assembly terminal at California’s Port of Long Beach is expected to cost $4.7 billion, port officials say.
The port released a concept report May 9 further outlining its proposal for the facility it says would be the largest of its kind in the U.S. specifically designed for offshore wind turbines. Port officials hope to start construction as early as January 2027 for the proposed Pier Wind project. Under that timeline, the first 100 acres could open for operations in early 2031 and the whole facility could be open in 2035.
