April 3, 2025 — SouthCoast Wind is responding to litigation by the Town of Nantucket appealing federal approval of the offshore wind farm planned for waters 20 miles south of the island.
The CEO of SouthCoast Wind, Michael Brown, told CAI the federal review was rigorous with regard to Nantucket’s concerns for environmental and historic preservation.
The wind farm’s parent company, Ocean Winds, remains confident in the thoroughness of the process, he said.
SouthCoast Wind is still awaiting some permits but received its main federal approval in December.
