July 2, 2024 — Two offshore wind farms immediately southwest of Vineyard Wind have received federal approval to begin construction.
The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management has approved a construction and operations plan for New England Wind 1 and 2, formerly called Park City Wind and Commonwealth Wind.
The projects won their main federal approval back in April — a Record of Decision documenting assessments by multiple agencies. But to build, they still needed the bureau’s final approval announced today.
