$1.4B saved: #Massachusetts locks in cheaper #offshorewind power
Massachusetts has activated long-term contracts for #VineyardWind, the state’s first #utilityscale offshore wind project. Officials say the move will stabilize prices for 20 years and cut a projected $1.4 billion from customer electricity bills over that period.
The contracts, signed by utilities on behalf of customers, are expected to deliver average direct savings of about 1.4 cents per kilowatt-hour.

Landmark #offshorewind farms come online in the #US
#RevolutionWind and #VineyardWind are two of several #windfarm projects that have come under fire from the Trump administration, putting pause on leases for them and three other wind farm projects being built off #EastCoast, citing national security concerns. Before then, wind energy advocates anticipated that some 5.8GW worth of new offshore wind energy would be constructed between 2025 and 2029.

#VineyardWind, #America's first large-scale #offshorewind project, finishes construction
It will be at least several weeks until all 62 #windturbines in the #windfarm off the coast of #Massachusetts are fully up and running, generating power for the #NewEngland grid.
It was one of five major East Coast offshore wind projects the Trump administration halted construction on days before Christmas, citing national security concerns.

Judge Revives #WindFarm That #Trump Halted Off Martha’s Vineyard
The project, known as #VineyardWind, was already 95% complete when the Trump admin ordered construction to stop.
The ruling was the fourth legal setback that the Trump admin has suffered in its quest to throttle the country’s nascent offshore #wind industry.

In #RhodeIsland, opponents of #offshorewind have come up with a new bogus claim: that cleaning up the #Vineyardwind blade failure will be worse than cleaning up an oil spill.
In explaining just how absurd this is, I look at the actual record of oil spills - both the Deepwater Horizon and local oil spills in #NewEngland.
Also, how wind can help to free us from the extreme and horrific effects of dependence on oil and other fossil fuels.

#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 $4 billion project, known as #VineyardWind, is expected to start generating electricity by year’s end, [delivering] enough power to light up 400,000 homes.
Cables carrying electricity created by spinning rotors will land on a beach in #Barnstable on #CapeCod and then head to consumers in the state."

The first turbine is up at the US’s first commercial #offshorewind farm: #VineyardWind 1,
The first of 62 #GE #HaliadeX #windturbines at #VineyardWind1 is complete. The announcement says the “fully assembled machine represents the largest turbine in the western world.” It has a 220-meter (722-foot) rotor, has 107-meter (351-foot) blades, and is 248 meters (814 feet) tall, can't wait for the full #WindFarm to be ready!

"A federal court has rejected the appeal filed by a group of #Nantucket residents aimed at stopping the #VineyardWind #OffshoreWind energy project southwest of the island."
“At this point, there is no scientific evidence that noise resulting from offshore wind site characterization surveys could potentially cause mortality of whales,” NOAA states. “There are no known links between recent large whale mortalities and ongoing offshore wind surveys."

A huge new 1.2 GW #offshore #windfarm is headed to #NewEngland
#VineyardOffshore, which developed #VineyardWind 1, has submitted a proposal for a 1.2GW offshore #windfarm to three New England states.
Proposal is for #VineyardWind2, and it was put forward in response to a solicitation from #Massachusetts, #Connecticut, and #RhodeIsland for up to 6.8GW of #offshorewind. It was proposed to each state and to the three states together under New England solicitation process.

Third #OffshoreWind farm coming to #US East Coast:
"#OceanWind1 joins two other projects, the #VineyardWind project in Massachusetts and the# SouthForkWind project in New York, both of which are now under construction. #Ørsted plans to have tall structures that will support wind turbines, called monopiles, installed in 2024 and to begin commercial operations in 2025."
