After receiving final authorisation from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), Vineyard Wind, a joint venture between Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners and Avangrid Renewables, has now executed an agreement with ISO New England (ISO-NE) to deliver energy to the grid once its Vineyard Wind 1 project comes online.
In September, Vineyard Wind received final acceptance for filing from FERC for the execution of its Interconnection Agreement with ISO-NE.This agreement allows Vineyard Wind’s 800MW offshore wind project to connect its generation into the New England electric power grid at the NSTAR 115kV switch station in Barnstable, Mass., USA. Vineyard Wind 1 is an 800MW offshore wind farm to be located 15 miles off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard, USA.
