"Biden Administration Greenlights Eighth Offshore Wind Project"

The Biden administration has approved the nation's eighth large offshore wind project, New England Wind, off the Massachusetts coast, which will provide more electricity than the state’s former coal-fired generating station. The project, developed by Avangrid, is expected to generate around 1,900 megawatts, powering up to 1 million homes and businesses in southern New England. This approval reflects the growing significance of renewable energy, with wind and solar projects now rivaling traditional energy sources in size and capacity. Additionally, the Interior Department has approved over 10 gigawatts of clean energy from offshore wind projects in less than three years, marking a significant milestone in the transition to cleaner energy sources.
