November 23, 2023 — Revolution Wind announced on Monday that it has received the final approval from a federal agency, which will allow the project to start offshore wind construction.
Revolution Wind, a utility-scale wind farm that serves Rhode Island and Connecticut, received approval of the project’s construction and operations plan from the U.S. Department of interior’s Bureau of Ocean Energy Management.
The wind farm agency said it plans to deliver 400 megawatts of clean wind to Rhode Island and help the state reach its climate goals.
“This is a significant win for Rhode Island, marking an important milestone in our efforts to advance the state’s clean energy future and grow our already thriving blue economy,” Gov. Dan McKee said. “Revolution Wind will be essential to advancing the state’s 100% renewable energy standard by 2033 and achieving our Act on Climate objectives.”
