Vineyard Wind

Vineyard Wind is an offshore wind energy project located off the coast of Massachusetts in the United States, developed as a joint venture between renewable-energy firms. The flagship project, generally identified as Vineyard Wind 1, is sited in federal waters south of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket. The project is designed to generate electricity from an array of offshore turbines connected to the New England grid, and it has been described as one of the first commercial-scale offshore wind developments in U.S. waters. Its development required federal and state permits, environmental review, and power-purchase arrangements with utilities. As an infrastructure project, its activities are limited to constructing and operating the wind farm and associated transmission; project timelines and capacity figures are set out in its official permitting and corporate disclosures.
