Vineyard Wind, a 50:50 joint venture between Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners and Avangrid Renewable (an affiliate of the Spanish energy group Iberdrola) has executed an interconnection agreement with the power transmission company ISO New England (ISO-NE) for its 800 MW Vineyard Wind 1 offshore wind project to be located 24 km off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard, in Massachusetts (United States). The deal, which was approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) in September 2020, will allow Vineyard Wind to connect the offshore wind project to the New England power grid. Construction could start in 2021.
Earlier in October 2020, Vineyard Wind submitted a bid in the second offshore wind solicitation held by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) in New York, in an attempt to achieve 9,000 MW of offshore wind power generation by 2035. Vineyard Wind’s proposal entails a project, Liberty Wind, with a total capacity of 1.3 GW. The offshore wind project would be located 135 km east of Montauk Point.
