James Fisher’s renewables business is overseeing testing and termination at State of New York’s first offshore wind farm.
Specialists from James Fisher Renewables will be working as client representatives to ensure the cable termination at all 12 turbines.
South Fork Wind farm will supply 132MW of renewable energy to New York’s Long Island once complete.

James Fisher and Sons plc (James Fisher) continues to expand its renewables service offering in the US by overseeing critical testing and termination services at South Fork Wind offshore wind farm in Long Island, US, working with offshore wind leader Ørsted and their joint venture partner, Eversource.

As part of James Fisher Renewables’ commitment to delivering the energy transition and their continued expansion into the North American renewable energy market, a team of offshore wind specialists commenced client witness work at the site in August 2023. The project involves overseeing the testing and termination of export and inter-array cables and working as client representatives to ensure the cable termination at all 12 turbines and the substation is of high quality and complies with all relevant industry standards.

Resonance testing is in use at the site to detect and prevent installation errors, and James Fisher Renewables’ experience with this method will help ensure asset integrity.

The project has been welcomed by product line director at James Fisher Renewables, Maida Zahirovic:
