"Vineyard Wind's Setbacks: Delayed Power and Unmet Renewable Targets in Massachusetts"
Vineyard Wind 1, the US's first major offshore wind farm, missed its initial deadline to deliver power to the Massachusetts grid by the end of December. Although the first turbine generated power, further testing is needed before it can transmit electricity to the grid. 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 and businesses. Full power potential is expected by mid-2024.
