Revolution Wind has begun delivering electricity to the New England grid. The project is owned by Revolution Wind, a 50/50 joint venture between Global Infrastructure Partners’ Skyborn Renewables and Ørsted.
The 704 MW offshore wind project is expected to generate enough electricity to supply more than 350,000 homes and businesses. Power will be delivered under fixed-price, 20-year agreements with utilities in Rhode Island and Connecticut.
According to analysis by the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, once the project reaches full commercial operation, Revolution Wind could reduce wholesale energy costs for New England ratepayers by as much as USD 500 million per year.
