Avangrid, the US affiliate of Iberdrola, announced the delivery of the first electricity from one turbine of the 806 MW Vineyard Wind project to the US State of New England grid. The first turbine delivered 5 MW of power off the coast of Massachusetts on the 3 December 2024, and it plans to have a total of 62 units of GE Renewable Energy’s Haliade-X 13-MW turbines once completed. Five turbines have been installed and they are expected to be fully operational by early 2024. The US$2.3bn Vineyard Wind project is being developed jointly by Avangrid and the Danish group Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP), which launched its construction in November 2021 (offshore construction started in late 2022), and is located at 15 miles off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard (Massachusetts, US).
At the federal level, the United States targets 30 GW of offshore wind capacity by 2030 and 15 GW of floating offshore wind capacity by 2035 (only 42 MW of offshore wind were operational at the end of 2022).
