Port of Long Beach Plans 400-Acre Wind Facility
The Port of Long Beach has released plans for a floating offshore wind facility intended to help California and the nation reach renewable energy targets in the coming decades. Known as Pier Wind, the $4.7-billion project would be the largest facility at any U.S. seaport specifically designed to accommodate the assembly of offshore wind turbines.
“As society transitions to clean energy, our harbor is ideally located for such an enterprise – with calm seas behind a federal breakwater, one of the deepest and widest channels in the U.S., direct access to the open ocean and no air height restrictions,” said Port of Long Beach executive director Mario Cordero.
The facility would span up to 400 acres of newly built land located southwest of the Long Beach International Gateway Bridge within the Harbor District. Construction could potentially start in January 2027 and would reach completion in 2035.
