LONG BEACH, Calif.—The Port of Long Beach offered more details on May 9 on its plans for a floating offshore wind facility to help California and the nation reach renewable energy targets in the coming decades.

The facility, known as Pier Wind, would support the manufacture and assembly of offshore wind turbines standing as tall as the Eiffel Tower, port officials said. It would be the largest facility at any U.S. seaport specifically designed to accommodate the assembly of offshore wind turbines.
