Vineyard Wind 1
Massachusetts
Vineyard Wind 1, the nation’s first commercial-scale wind project to reach construction, is now approaching completion, preparing to send enough clean energy to power 400,000 homes in Massachusetts.
Building the nation’s first commercial-scale offshore wind project
The Vineyard Offshore team now has Vineyard Wind 1, the nation’s first commercial-scale offshore wind energy project, under construction. With installation now under way, union workers are getting jobs, diverse local businesses are joining the offshore wind supply chain, and communities from New Bedford to Cape Cod and the Islands are enjoying the benefits of Vineyard Wind 1 partnerships. Still to come is development of Vineyard Northeast, a second lease area off the coast of Massachusetts, which has the potential to produce more clean, affordable, renewable energy for the Bay State, along with more jobs and benefits for local communities.
