The Biden administration has approved Orsted's plans to build a nearly 1-gigawatt offshore wind farm near a popular Massachusetts vacation town, paving the way for the project to supply power to New York in 2026. Four wind farm developers have filed proposals for new turbines in waters south of New England, reinvigorating the offshore wind industry. Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut have received proposals for offshore wind projects, with companies like Avangrid and Orsted involved. New England aims to be coal-free by 2028, with plans to convert old plants into solar farms and battery units powered by offshore wind. New York is set to construct its first offshore wind hub with union labor, emphasizing green investment opportunities.
The waters off Britain’s east coast are dotted with windmills that supplied almost a sixth of the country’s electricity last year. Two-thirds of these turbines have blades made in Hull. Such industries could pay a big role in attracting green investment https://t.co/PLr0YxJJWW
These three states joined in a historic agreement that allows for potential coordinated selection of offshore wind projects. https://t.co/QWoSMP80Zj

Good luck to New England and the whales: "After shutting down, the plants will be converted to solar farms and battery units that can store electricity generated from offshore wind turbines along the Atlantic Coast." https://t.co/BpI7Yvu5eA https://t.co/T6xeln0pav
Nice to see offshore wind looking alive and well with four proposals to Rhode Island Energy, from Avangrid, Orsted, SouthCoast Wind and Vineyard Offshore.
