BALTIMORE – The U.S. offshore wind market reached two milestones yesterday evening, with announcements that the nearly complete Revolution Wind project had begun delivering power to the grid and the Vineyard Wind 1 project had installed its final turbine. This marks a significant advancement for the U.S. market that currently has a single, fully operational commercial-scale wind farm. Alongside Vineyard Wind 1, five other projects had been under simultaneous installation –with a total combined generation potential of 5,825 MW – supported by a 40-state supply chain that both projects helped develop through substantial local content investments.
In response, Oceantic Network has released the following statement:
“U.S. offshore wind continues to power forward. With the third U.S. project now delivering desperately-needed electricity to the grid—and lowering winter energy bills for millions of Americans—the domestic offshore wind industry is demonstrating its true potential every day. The burgeoning, 40-state American supply chain supported installation across five different projects simultaneously—a feat rivaled by few other markets—while creating more than 12,000 jobs and driving $25 billion of American investments flowing directly into our shipyards, ports, and manufacturing centers. Together, these milestones underscore that offshore wind is not a future promise, but a proven, homegrown energy resource delivering real reliability, affordability, and economic benefits today.”
