Overview
- Revolution Wind, a 704 MW joint venture of Ørsted and Skyborn Renewables, has started sending electricity to the New England grid under 20-year fixed-price contracts with Rhode Island and Connecticut.
- Rhode Island officials say Revolution Wind is 93% complete and remains on track for full commercial operation in the second half of 2026.
- Connecticut’s energy department projects up to $500 million per year in wholesale cost reductions once Revolution Wind is fully online, and ISO New England cites expected gains in winter reliability.
- Vineyard Wind 1 has finished installing all 62 turbines to complete physical construction of the 800 MW project that is expected to power more than 400,000 homes when fully online.
- Judges granted injunctions and blocked federal lease suspensions sought by the Trump administration, allowing Revolution Wind, Vineyard Wind, and other East Coast projects to continue moving forward.
