Winery Wind 1, America’s first large-scale offshore wind farm, has begun delivering power to the New England grid from 5 of its deliberate 62 GE Haliade-X 13 MW wind generators. The models are at the moment producing 68 MW of power, sufficient to energy 30,000 houses in Massachusetts, in keeping with the builders of the challenge, Avangrid and Copenhagen Infrastructure Companions (CIP).
The wind turbine set up marketing campaign for the 806 MW Winery Wind 1 started in September 2023. A month later, the primary GE Haliade-X 13 MW unit was put in on the website some 15 miles (roughly 24 kilometres) off the coast of Massachusetts by DEME’s jack-up Sea Installer.
On 2 January, Winery Wind delivered roughly 5 MW of energy from one turbine to the grid. Following that milestone, the challenge has offered energy from every of the primary 5 generators intermittently, because it ramped as much as preliminary operations, in keeping with Avangrid.
The ability from the challenge interconnects to the New England grid in Barnstable, transmitted by underground cables that hook up with a substation additional inland on Cape Cod.
“Throughout Massachusetts, in 30,000 houses and companies, once you activate the sunshine, you’ll now be utilizing clear, inexpensive power. It will make the air we breathe safer and more healthy, save clients cash, and convey us one step nearer to attaining net-zero emissions,” stated Maura Healey, Governor of Massachusetts.

At present, the challenge has put in 9 wind generators and is within the course of of putting in the tenth, with preparations underway to move the eleventh unit to the offshore challenge website, Avangrid stated.
Further energy can be delivered to the grid sequentially, with every turbine beginning manufacturing as soon as it completes the commissioning course of.
The Winery Wind 1 offshore wind farm will include 62 GE Haliade-X 13 MW wind generators. As soon as accomplished, the challenge will generate electrical energy for greater than 400,000 houses and companies in Massachusetts.
