September 18, 2026 (Boston, MA) – Revolution Wind has completed construction of its 65-turbine development off of Rhode Island, marking a major milestone in the development of clean, affordable energy for New England’s homes and businesses.
“This marks another major milestone for New England’s clean energy transformation,” said Anxhela Mile, staff attorney at Conservation Law Foundation (CLF). “As another offshore wind project completes construction, New England is expanding its supply of homegrown energy that will not only protect families and businesses from the volatility of fossil fuel prices, but bring cleaner air, good jobs, and more reliable, affordable energy to communities across the region.”
Revolution Wind delivered its first power to the grid in March and will power 350,000 homes in Connecticut and Rhode Island. The project is expected to fully come online later this year.
Earlier this year, Vineyard Wind completed installation of its 62 turbines in the waters off Massachusetts that will power 400,000 homes and businesses.
South Fork Wind, which completed construction and is located less than 20 miles from Block Island, powers 70,000 homes and businesses on Long Island with a dozen turbines.
These three projects will continue to provide reliable, homegrown energy and prevent more than 3 million tons of carbon from fouling our air and lungs each year by replacing fossil fuels. That’s the equivalent of taking more than 650,000 cars off the road.
CLF experts are available for further comment.
