U.S. Approves 2.4-Gigawatt SouthCoast Wind Farm, 11th Project Under Biden, for Massachusetts and Rhode Island
Dec 20, 2024, 11:53 PM
The U.S. Interior Department has approved the 2.4-gigawatt SouthCoast Wind farm, which is planned near the Massachusetts coast. This project marks the 11th offshore wind project authorized during the Biden administration and is expected to generate significant renewable energy for Massachusetts and Rhode Island. The approval comes as Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont has opted out of a three-state offshore wind initiative, leaving the second Vineyard Wind project uncertain. The SouthCoast Wind farm is notably the last offshore energy project likely to receive authorization under President Biden's administration, with the lease for the project sold during Donald Trump's presidency.
