Iberdrola, through its subsidiary Avangrid, has been awarded a contract for the electricity supply from Commonwealth Wind offshore windfarm, as part of Massachusetts’ third offshore wind competitive procurement.
The 1,232MW project includes two transformative initiatives that convert former coal-fired power plants into clean energy centers that will serve to anchor offshore wind jobs throughout the state. Massachusetts' first submarine cable factory, operated by Prysmian, will be located at Brayton Point, Somerset, and a new offshore wind construction terminal will be built in Salem Harbor to serve the Commonwealth Wind project.
