Largest Offshore Wind Power Farm in America Approved

The Biden Administration has approved the Vineyard Wind project, which is the largest offshore wind power project in US history. The farm will consist of up to 84 turbines and will be located 12 nautical miles off Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts. The Vineyard Wind project will generate 800 megawatts, which is enough to power 400,000 homes and office buildings. The Biden administration also claims that the project will create 3,600 jobs. It’s expected to be followed by many other projects, so this is really the one which is going to kick-off, in earnest, the US offshore wind sector, Jonathan Cole, global managing director of offshore wind at Iberdrola told CNBC. It is currently unclear when the project will come online, but it could reportedly enter into service in 2023.
