Decisive Move: U.S. Government Clears Vineyard Wind, America’s First Commercial-Scale Offshore Project
Located south of Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard is known as a summer destination for the rich and famous. But if the island is where well-heeled vacationers go to recharge their batteries, it’s set to soon be associated with another kind of energy altogether: America’s first commercial-scale offshore wind farm, projected to generate 800 megawatts and supply renewable electricity to thousands of U.S. homes.

Big Win(d): GE’s Powerful Haliade-X Offshore Wind Turbine Gets A Major U.S. Customer
Located south of Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard is known as a summer destination for the rich and famous. But if the island is where well-heeled vacationers go to recharge their batteries, it’s set to soon be associated with another kind of energy altogether: a wind farm that’s slated for installation some 15 miles offshore in the Atlantic Ocean. The 800-megawatt Vineyard Wind 1, as the project is called, will be the first utility-scale offshore wind project in the U.S. It is scheduled to start supplying clean energy to Massachusetts homes and businesses in 2023.
