The United States has reached a milestone in renewable energy as the first turbines from two major offshore wind farms, Vineyard Wind in Massachusetts and South Fork Wind near New York, begin supplying electricity to the grid. Vineyard Wind's first turbine delivered 5 megawatts to the Massachusetts grid, with more turbines to be operational early in the year. This progress comes amidst international commitments to increase renewable energy usage and challenges faced by the offshore wind industry, including project delays and financial feasibility concerns.
