In early March, Vineyard Wind, a wind project out in the Atlantic south of Massachusetts, saw the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), the Federal regulator, complete its review of the project’s Environmental Impact Statement, or EIS, a process that had stalled during the waning days of the Trump administration.
Most likely, the 800 mW Vineyard Wind project, a joint venture between Avangrid Renewables, tied to renewables giant Iberdrola, and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) will gain a final approval in the coming months.
