#VineyardWind1 just became the US's largest operating #offshore #windfarm
Sustainable energy company #Avangrid and green investors Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners today announced that at #VineyardWind 1 project five more #windturbines came online so Vineyard Wind 1 is now delivering more than 136 megawatts (MW) to the electric grid in #Massachusetts. (#NewYork’s #SouthForkWind, the US’s first complete utility-scale #offshorewind farm, is 132 MW.)

The first US-built #offshorewind #substation is complete and headed to #SouthForkWind off #NewYork– a major milestone for the US #offshore #wind industry.
Offshore substations collect and stabilize power that the wind turbines generate, preparing it for transmission to shore. South Fork Wind’s 1,500-ton, 60-foot-tall substation was designed and engineered in Kansas, and built near #CorpusChristi by #KiewitOffshoreServices, the largest offshore fabricator in the US.
