US approves major Massachusetts offshore wind farm
The Biden administration has approved the SouthCoast Wind project, marking its eleventh major offshore wind initiative. Located off the coast of Massachusetts, the project is a collaboration between EDP Renewables and ENGIE. Featuring 141 turbines, the farm will generate 2.4 gigawatts of electricity, enough to power over 840,000 homes. Construction is set to begin in 2025, with energy production expected by the decade’s end. This approval highlights the U.S. commitment to renewable energy, despite challenges such as high costs and supply chain issues, as it strives to meet ambitious climate goals and boost green energy infrastructure.
