"Vineyard Wind Energizes New England with First Large-Scale Offshore Power Delivery"

The Vineyard Wind project, an offshore wind farm located off the coast of Martha's Vineyard, has begun delivering power to New England's electric grid, marking a significant milestone for the American offshore wind industry. One of the five completed GE Haliade-X turbines supplied approximately 5 megawatts of power, with plans to have all turbines operational early this year. Once fully complete, the wind farm will consist of 62 turbines, generating enough electricity for around 400,000 homes and businesses. This development represents a key step towards Massachusetts' goal of energy independence and aligns with the Biden administration's broader objectives for renewable energy expansion on the East Coast.

"Vineyard Wind Marks Milestone as First US Large-Scale Offshore Farm Powers New England Grid"

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.

"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.
