Boston, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut are receiving proposals for offshore wind projects, with four wind farm developers filing proposals to build towering turbines in waters south of New England. The new proposals offer hope for the offshore wind industry, aiming to spark it back to life after stalling due to rising costs. The gas industry in New England is being taunted for not reducing gas burning despite the growth of renewable energy surpassing electricity demand growth. Offshore wind projects from Avangrid, Orsted, SouthCoast Wind, and Vineyard Offshore are contributing to the region's renewable energy landscape. A historic agreement among three states allows for potential coordinated selection of offshore wind projects, indicating progress towards a coal-free New England by 2028.

New England could be coal-free by 2028 https://t.co/DS3i9a9xe2 https://t.co/DS3i9a9xe2
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.
First coal; now gas! Gas industry is smugly sure EE, RE plus batteries won't reduce gas burning. @saeverley They do reduce gas burning in Europe but gas industry taunts New England. When RE growth exceeds electricity demand growth, gas burning will go down. That will happen! https://t.co/i0pVsQXyJK
"Last coal plants in New England to close; renewables take their place" My prediction is that this headline doesn't age well. A short 🧵 https://t.co/zlLjAdH92q

Four wind farm developers this week filed proposals to build a new wave of towering turbines in waters south of New England, offering hope that a nascent industry can be sparked back to life after stalling out amid rising costs. https://t.co/CHjWcKyfIj
