Overview
- Vineyard Wind installed its final blades Friday, completing offshore construction as the 62‑turbine, roughly 800 MW project continues sending some power to the grid.
- Ørsted and Skyborn Renewables’ 704 MW Revolution Wind began delivering electricity and will ramp up in the coming weeks toward full commissioning expected in the second half of 2026.
- Federal judges allowed construction to resume on both projects following Interior’s August and December 2025 pauses citing national security, and the administration did not secure an appeal of the latest ruling.
- Vineyard Wind previously halted operations after a 2024 blade failure; GE Vernova agreed to a $10.5 million settlement and affected turbines underwent inspections and replacements.
- Developers and state analyses project substantial consumer benefits, with Connecticut estimating up to about $500 million per year in wholesale cost reductions by 2028 and combined capacity near 1,500 MW serving hundreds of thousands of homes.
