Dong Energy A/S, the most prolific offshore-wind developer, is planning a power plant in U.S. waters that may eventually be the biggest in the world.
The Bay State Wind project about 15 miles (24 kilometers) off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts may have as much as 1,000 megawatts of capacity, according to a fact sheet provided Wednesday by Fredericia, Denmark-based Dong. The company acquired the lease for the site from RES Americas in a deal approved in June by the U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management.
