Officials at Vineyard Wind on Monday told the Biden administration that the company would like to resubmit the plans for a wind farm 15 miles south of Martha’s Vineyard that it yanked from federal review in early December.
After the latest in a string of permitting delays imposed on the project by the Trump administration, Vineyard Wind on Dec. 1 announced that it was pulling the 800-megawatt offshore wind project out of the federal review pipeline in order to complete an internal study on whether the decision to use a certain type of turbine would warrant changes to the project’s construction and operations plan.
