The first of 13 foundations that will hold the equipment for the South Fork Wind Farm was installed in the ocean southeast of Block Island last week. The foundations will hold 12 turbines, each some 800 feet tall, and the offshore substation that will send power to shore in Wainscott and eventually to a LIPA substation in East Hampton.
