"Vineyard Wind Marks Milestone as First US Large-Scale Offshore Farm Powers New England Grid"
TL;DR Summary
Vineyard Wind 1, the US's first major offshore wind farm, missed its initial deadline to deliver power by December 31 but successfully began supplying electricity to the Massachusetts grid with one turbine on January 2. The project, a joint venture between Avangrid and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, will eventually consist of 62 turbines, providing 806 MW of power—enough for over 400,000 homes. The first five turbines are expected to be fully operational in early 2024, with the entire farm reaching full capacity by mid-2024.
