One turbine from the Vineyard Wind project off the coast of Massachusetts, a major offshore wind farm in the United States, has delivered five megawatts of power to the New England grid for the first time.

Vineyard Wind, a $2.8 billion development, was unveiled back in 2021 as a joint project between renewable energy companies Avangrid and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners. When completed, it’s expected to have 62 wind turbines operating and generate 800 megawatts of power.
