Developers of the 800-MW Vineyard Wind offshore wind project in Massachusetts, set to be the first such utility-scale project in the U.S. and the country’s largest, say they are committed to push through on its $2.8 billion in construction despite a sudden Trump Administration permitting setback. On Aug. 9, the department’s Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, which leads the federal government project review, told the developer—a joint venture of Copenhagen Investment Partners and Avengrid Renewables—that it had to expand its analysis of Vineyard Wind to take into account the cumulative effects of other offshore wind projects that have been awarded power purchase agreements as well as state procurements of offshore wind generation that are expected to be awarded.
