Siemens Energy and Aker Solutions will develop a high-voltage direct current (HVDC) power transmission system to connect the Sunrise Wind power plant with the grid.
The project will provide the first offshore wind project in the US to connect to a mainland grid network via HVDC, according to a statement.
The 924MW wind farm is located 50km east of Long Island and will produce enough electricity to power 600,000 New York households.
