Massachusetts is now receiving more renewable energy through Vineyard Wind.
Avangrid, the company that owns half of Vineyard Wind, announced last week that the first five turbines of the offshore wind project have been installed and are delivering electricity.
The project is now providing around 68 megawatts to the New England grid, which Avangrid says equals about “30,000 homes and businesses in Massachusetts.” The announcement was made in a press release issued on Thursday, Feb. 22.
“Every milestone we achieve on Vineyard Wind 1 is special, but powering up these first turbines stands apart as an exceptional achievement for Avangrid, Massachusetts, and the nation,” Avangrid CEO Pedro Azagra said in the release. “Each rotation of the blades, and every megawatt flowing to homes across Massachusetts, is a testament to the years of perseverance and partnership that have defined this trailblazing project.”
