The Biden-Harris administration announced the approval of the SouthCoast Wind Project – the nation’s 11th commercial-scale offshore wind energy project. The SouthCoast Wind Project is expected to generate up to 2.4 gigawatts (GW) of offshore wind energy for Massachusetts and Rhode Island, enough to power more than 840,000 homes. The project area covers approximately 127,388 acres and about 26 nautical miles (nm) south of Martha’s Vineyard and 20 nm south of Nantucket, Massachusetts. With this approval, the Department of the Interior has approved more than 19 GW off offshore wind energy. More information is available here.
