And that will look tiny compared to the 62 turbines that will be installed by early 2024. The General Electric Co. systems will each have about 13 megawatts of capacity and will soar about 850 feet into the sky.
O’Brien represents some of the union workers who are eager to see the industry take off, and deliver high-paying jobs to the region. President Joe Biden has set a goal of 30 gigawatts of turbines in operation in US waters by 2030, and several Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states have established their own targets.
These issues are temporary setbacks, according to industry advocates. Demand for clean energy will only increase, driven by the push to electrify more of the economy and the increasing urgency of the fight against climate change. That will spur more utilities to pursue offshore wind, especially in the Northeast where there are few alternatives, said Susannah Hatch, director of clean energy policy for the Environmental League of Massachusetts.
There are two wind farms in service in US waters now, one near Block Island, Rhode Island, that has five turbines and a total of 30 megawatts of capacity, and a two-turbine project in Virginia that has 12 megawatts of capacity. Both are viewed as demonstration projects that laid the groundwork for larger projects like Avangrid’s 806-megawatt Vineyard Wind.
