March 6, 2024 — Commercial fishermen in Massachusetts and other states who have been negatively impacted financially by the growth of the offshore wind industry have a relatively short window in which to apply for compensation under Vineyard Wind’s new Fisheries Compensatory Mitigation Program.
Vineyard Wind, a joint venture between Avangrid, Inc. and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, through its affiliate Vineyard Offshore, announced March 4 that the deadline for impacted fishermen to apply and qualify for payments based on defined criteria is June 3 and that there will be no other opportunity to apply.
