March 14, 2026 (Boston, MA) – The developers of two offshore wind projects off the New England coast have announced major milestones. Revolution Wind sent its first power to the grid on March 13. Also on March 13, Vineyard Wind installed the final blades on its turbines, marking the end of construction. Each of these wind projects is expected to affordably produce electricity from wind for the next 30 to 35 years with no supply problems in winter, no soaring costs for fuel, no leaky pipelines and no pollution.
“Today marks a significant milestone in New England’s clean energy transformation,” said Kate Sinding Daly, senior vice president for law and policy at Conservation Law Foundation. “Together with South Fork Wind, these pioneering projects will deliver clean, homegrown energy for our region, shield families and businesses from volatile fossil fuel prices, and prevent millions of tons of carbon pollution each year. This progress shows that offshore wind is not just an idea for the future, it’s already strengthening our economy, cleaning our air, creating thousands of jobs, and building a more reliable energy system for decades to come.”
Vineyard Wind just completed installing 62 turbines in the waters off Massachusetts. The 804MW project will power 400,000 homes and businesses in the next few weeks.
Revolution Wind off Point Judith, Rhode Island, delivered its first power to the grid on March 13, and will eventually power 350,000 homes in Connecticut and Rhode Island.
Already completed South Fork Wind, built in large part in Connecticut and located less than 20 miles from Block Island, has proven itself for more than a year, powering 70,000 homes and businesses on Long Island with a dozen turbines.
These three projects will provide reliable, homegrown energy and will 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.
