An offshore wind project in New England that is expected to be the U.S.’s first large-scale offshore wind farm for the first time delivered power to the electric grid.

The Vineyard Wind project — located off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts — sent power to the New England grid during initial testing. 

When it is completed, the project is expected to have 62 wind turbines that generate enough power for more than 400,000 homes in Massachusetts.
