Vineyard Wind

Vineyard Wind, an 800-megawatt project located 15 miles off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard, will generate electricity for more than 400,000 homes and businesses in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Watch this video from the team behind the nation's first commercial-scale offshore wind project. The video includes interviews with staff from across the team, including project development, package management, stakeholder engagement and workforce development. #VineyardWind1 #behindthescenes #team #development #project

On this day, we commemorate the courage of those who fought for our freedom and the enduring spirit that makes our country strong. May we continue to cherish our independence and strive for a future that upholds the ideals of liberty and justice for all.

Vineyard Wind 1 is now the largest operating offshore wind project in the United States! With 10 turbines in operation, the project is now sending 136 megawatts of clean energy to the Massachusetts grid - enough to power 64,000 homes. 🏠💡 Once complete, our 62-turbine project will be the largest renewable energy facility in New England and power more than 400,000 homes.

Earlier this month, 4th graders at Pine Glenn Elementary School in Burlington, MA, got the chance to explore #offshorewind firsthand. They enjoyed learning about Vineyard Wind 1, collaborating on a mapping activity, and constructing their own kid-sized wind turbines!

#DYK Vineyard Wind collaborates with the US Coast Guard on safety protocols and rescue training within the wind farms? This partnership ensures preparedness for any emergencies, enhancing safety for both marine workers and nearby communities.

Vineyard Wind proudly sponsored the Imagine Corps program, engaging local 7th and 8th graders in the challenge of reducing fossil fuel consumption. Partnering with Vineyard Power and the Martha’s Vineyard Commission, the project helped students explore clean energy solutions, preparing them to lead in their classrooms and communities. Students from the West Tisbury School developed solar-powered electric scooters and a tram system, presenting their ideas at the Annual Climate Action Fair, the Felix Neck Youth Climate Summit, and at a program-sponsored Concept Jam.

#MarinerUpdate 105: Starting on or around July 9, cable laying operations for the inter-array cables will be conducted. The vessels will be conducting cable laying operations for the inter-array cables, acting as a stationary support vessel, and will be performing cable trenching, burial works.

Another week, another spotlight- we’re excited to introduce our second Education High School Ambassador, Christopher Cecil! Christopher recently graduated from Greater New Bedford Vocational Technical High School, where he participated in the Legal & Protective Shop and in the EMT Program. He became interested in Vineyard Wind because they are building the first ever offshore wind farm in North America. He is especially looking forward to working with the health, safety, and environment department as he’s interested in emergency management and is excited to make an impact within his community. We’re excited for Christopher to join us this summer and make an impact on our own team!
