A New Course for Offshore Wind
About us
Vineyard Wind is well underway in developing the nation's first utility-scale offshore wind energy project over 15 miles off the coast of Massachusetts. The project will generate clean, renewable, cost-competitive energy for over 400,000 homes and businesses across the Commonwealth, while reducing carbon emissions by over 1.6 million tons per year. New England is shifting to clean, competitively-priced energy, and Massachusetts state law seeks to have 3,200 MW of offshore wind providing electricity to the Commonwealth by 2035, which could represent over 20% of electricity consumed in the state. Vineyard Wind is an important part of that goal, and will make a significant contribution to the Commonwealth’s aim of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, while growing our economy and enhancing energy security and reliability.

Vineyard Wind 1 is now the largest operating offshore wind project in the United States! With 10 turbines in operation, the project is now sending 136 megawatts of clean energy to the Massachusetts grid - enough to power 64,000 homes. 🏠💡 Once complete, our 62-turbine project will be the largest renewable energy facility in New England and power more than 400,000 homes.
