Cape Wind completed its Federal permitting process with the receipt of a final permit from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), continuing the project’s forward progress to creating jobs and increasing energy independence from the 468MW offshore wind farm.
With the permitting process complete, and with the Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities recent approval of Cape Wind’s power purchase contract with National Grid, Cape Wind’s focus turns to securing project finance. Cape Wind is America’s first fully permitted offshore wind farm and it has also secured the nation’s first offshore wind lease. The project will locate 130 offshore wind turbines on Horseshoe Shoal in Nantucket Sound.
