Wind power from south of Martha’s Vineyard was delivered to the New England grid late Tuesday night — a step Governor Maura Healey hailed as “a historic moment for the American offshore wind industry.”
For the first time in the United States, turbines are sending electricity to the grid from the sites of two large offshore wind farms.
The 62-turbine, 800 megawatt Vineyard Wind 1 project near Martha's Vineyard is officially producing clean electricity for Massachusetts.
One turbine delivered about 5 megawatts of power to the Massachusetts grid just before midnight Wednesday.
