President Biden‘s Interior Department on Monday announced that it has completed its analysis of a $2 billion offshore wind project that the administration hopes will represent a model for increased wind energy production along the East Coast.
The Vineyard Wind Project is an 800-megawatt wind energy project in federal waters off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard and aims to generate enough electricity to power as many as 400,000 homes in New England.
“Offshore energy development provides an opportunity for us to work with Tribal nations, communities, and other ocean users to ensure all decisions are transparent and utilize the best available science,” Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) director Amanda Lefton said in a Monday statement.
If approved, the Vineyard Wind project would be the first utility-scale wind power development in federal waters. A smaller wind farm operates near Block Island in waters controlled by the state of Rhode Island.
A previous Massachusetts offshore wind project called Cape Wind failed amid opposition from the Kennedy family and businessman William Koch, among others, who considered it a bird-killing eyesore in their ocean views.
