CASE STUDY Keystone Engineering Cuts Installation Costs by 20% on First Offshore U.S. Wind Farm OpenWindPower® Shortens Design Time; Optimizes Steel Jacket Foundation Design BUILDING AN ALTERNATIVE ENERGY SOURCE FOR COASTAL CITIES Deepwater Wind, a leading offshore wind developer based in Providence, Rhode Island, undertook the USD 290 million Block Island Wind Farm project to supply less expensive power to residents. As the first commercial wind farm in the United States, the project demonstrated the feasibility of offshore wind as an alternative energy resource for U.S. coastal cities. Keystone Engineering (Keystone) was retained to design jacket-type substructures for the five 6-megawatt wind turbine generators.
