Electricity from the country’s first large-scale offshore wind project is officially flowing into Massachusetts and helping to power the New England grid.
The Vineyard Wind project achieved “first power” late Tuesday when one operating turbine near Martha’s Vineyard delivered approximately five megawatts of electricity to the grid. The company said it expects to have five turbines operating at full capacity in early 2024.

..."A steep learning curve, indeed! Vineyard Wind is the first large offshore wind project to start producing electricity in the United States. 5 turbines have been powering Block Island, Rhode Island since December, 2016, but they have a maximum capacity of just 30 MW and are only 4 miles offshore. Vineyard Wind, once completed, will supply up to 800 MW of power when all 62 of its turbines are installed and operational."...
