Construction finishes on a major offshore wind farm, the first during Trump’s tenure
AI Summary
Construction has finished on Vineyard Wind, a major offshore wind farm off the coast of Massachusetts, marking the first such project completed during Donald Trump's time in office. The project, a joint venture between Avangrid and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, is located 15 miles south of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket. Vineyard Wind consists of 62 turbines with a total capacity of 800 megawatts, enough to power approximately 400,000 homes. The Trump administration had previously halted construction on Vineyard Wind and four other East Coast wind projects, citing national security concerns, but legal challenges allowed them to resume. While Vineyard Wind has been delivering power for over a year, another project, Revolution Wind, recently began sending power to New England's electric grid. The completion of Vineyard Wind is considered crucial for Massachusetts to lower energy costs, meet demand, achieve climate goals, and support job creation.
