Interior Nears OK For First US Commercial-Scale Offshore Wind Project

"The Interior Department moved one step closer Monday to allowing for the construction of the country’s first commercial-scale offshore wind project.

Interior released a Final Environmental Impact Statement, the last step before it issues a decision on whether it will approve or deny the request to build the 800-megawatt project 12 miles from Martha’s Vineyard, Mass.

If approved, the Vineyard Wind 1 project, a joint venture between Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners and Avangrid Renewable, would be expected to be completed in 2023."

Rachel Frazin reports for The Hill March 8, 2021.
