March 17, 2026 — After a reprieve from a U.S. Department of Interior suspension in December, the offshore wind company Vineyard Wind 1 installed the last of its turbine blades on Friday.
“With the installation of the final blades, Vineyard Wind completed its offshore construction program. Vineyard Wind continues to deliver power to the New England grid,” said Vineyard Wind spokesman Craig Gilvarg in an email to the Times on Monday.
The last shipment of turbine blades for the $4.5 billion Vineyard Wind 1 project headed to the site south of Martha’s Vineyard last week.
The project had been in danger of stalling when the Trump administration in late December issued a stop-work order.
