OK, I understand
Vineyard Wind has requested the restart of permitting for its 800MW offshore wind project in the US after rescinding a decision to withdraw a key permitting document for federal review.
The Avangrid Renewables and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners joint venture said it believes consenting for the project off Massachusetts can “resume” as no changes to a Construction and Operations Plan (COP) are needed following a fresh review.
Vineyard last year withdrew its COP after switching from MHI Vestas to GE Haliade-X turbines. Federal lease agency BOEM responded by terminating the permitting process for the project.
“Since there are no changes required to the COP, we expect that BOEM can finalise their review based on the extensive analysis and studies of the project over the last three years,” Vineyard chief executive Lars Pedersen said today.
Vineyard Wind resumes push to build offshore wind farm 15 miles south of Martha’s Vineyard

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.
