News summary

The Revolution Wind project, a collaboration between Ørsted and Eversource, has installed its first turbine off the coast of Rhode Island, marking a significant milestone for the offshore wind industry in the U.S. This project, which will deliver approximately 704 megawatts of power to Rhode Island and Connecticut, is the nation's first multi-state offshore wind farm and is expected to power around 350,000 homes. The project is anticipated to create around 1,200 jobs and bolster the regional blue economy. While Revolution Wind aims to be fully operational by 2026, the offshore wind sector continues to face challenges, as exemplified by difficulties encountered in New Jersey with the Leading Light Wind project. Rhode Island Governor Dan McKee and Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont have both highlighted the project's importance for clean energy and job creation in their states. Overall, Revolution Wind is viewed as a pivotal step forward for U.S. offshore wind development.
