Vineyard Offshore is committed to building a new clean energy industry in the United States. In both personnel and supply chain for its offshore wind projects, Vineyard Offshore takes the approach of “Look Local First” to maximize economic benefits in the communities where we do business.

In that way we nurture a diverse, skilled local workforce, offer opportunities for local businesses in a new and growing industry, and contribute to the communities that are touched by our projects.

To see the commitment to local sources of supply that is central to the Vineyard method of offshore wind development, look no further than Vineyard Wind 1, the first commercial-scale offshore wind farm in the United States.
