Vineyard Wind’s $2.8bn installation of up to 84 turbines off the East Coast may face legal challenges from fishing groups and others

Jennifer A DlouhyThe long-stalled push to build huge wind farms in the Atlantic Ocean along the US East Coast took a crucial step forward on Tuesday as the Biden administration approved plans for a project off Martha’s Vineyard.

The project will have a capacity of 800MW, enough to power about 400,000 East Coast homes. It’s a significant step towards meeting President Joe Biden’s goal of deploying 30,000MW of offshore wind capacity by the end of the decade. While two small wind farms now operate in waters off the US East Coast, no other major offshore wind project has progressed this far in the federal permitting process.

Vineyard Wind CEO Lars T Pedersen struck a confident tone during a call with reporters. “We feel very, very comfortable,” given the “extremely thorough process” the government used to analyse the project, he said. Fishing groups argue that the project’s design and the government’s environmental reviews are inadequate.
