(Undated)--A proposed wind farm offshore from Rhode Island that would carry electricity to Long Island, New York is agreeing to reduce the number of turbines needed for the project.The Providence Journal reports Orsted and Eversource, the two partner developers of the South Fork Wind Farm, will officially agree to reduce the turbine total from fifteen to twelve at a Rhode Island Coastal Resources Management Council meeting on Tuesday.The C-R-M-C is reviewing the project on behalf of the federal government and has warned it would make a negative recommendation if that action wasn't taken.Concerns from the council about the wind farm, which would be constructed in the Rhode Island Sound, include its specific location in a bio-diverse area as well as the potential economic impact on the fishing industry.
