WASHINGTON, D.C. The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) says it intends to resume the environmental review of Vineyard Winds proposed offshore wind project.<\/p>\n
BOEM Director Amanda Lefton said: BOEM is committed to conducting a robust and timely review of the proposed project.<\/p>\n
On Jan. 22, 2021, Vineyard Wind submitted a letter rescinding its temporary construction and operations plan (COP) withdrawal and requesting that BOEM resume review of the 800-MW wind energy project offshore Massachusetts. <\/p>\n
The proposed project would be located about 12 nautical mi offshore Marthas Vineyard and 12 nautical mi offshore Nantucket in the northern portion of its lease area.<\/p>\n
Vineyard Wind had paused the departments consideration of its proposal while it reviewed whether the use of Haliade-X turbines warranted any modifications to the COP.<\/p>\n
Vineyard Wind is a joint venture between Avangrid Renewables and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners.<\/p>\n
It still expects to reach financial close in the second half of 2021 and to begin delivering energy to Massachusetts in 2023.<\/p>\n
