The companies plan to turn the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal complex into a facility capable of staging and assembling all the components for a coming offshore industry, Equinor said. The initial focus will be on Equinor and BP’s Empire Wind and Beacon Wind projects, which will supply 3.3 GW of energy (0.55 Bcf/d). The companies will invest $200 million-$250 million in infrastructure upgrades at the site in Brooklyn, New York, with an eye to developing the terminal as a low-emissions facility.
