"Vineyard Wind: America's First Major Offshore Farm Now Energizing New England"
The Vineyard Wind project, the United States' first large-scale offshore wind farm located near Martha's Vineyard, has begun producing clean electricity, marking a significant milestone for the country's renewable energy sector. The project, which is expected to be fully operational in early 2024, will eventually consist of 62 turbines generating up to 800 megawatts of power, enough to supply around 400,000 homes in Massachusetts. This achievement is a step towards President Biden's goal of 30,000 megawatts of offshore wind power by 2030 and represents a significant advancement for the U.S. in combating climate change and moving towards energy independence.
