The Biden administration approved Orsted A/S’s plans to build a nearly 1-gigawatt offshore wind farm near a popular Massachusetts vacation destination, setting the stage for the massive project to begin supplying power to New York in 2026.
The Sunrise Wind project — a joint venture between Orsted and Eversource Energy — is set to encompass scores of turbines installed about 16 nautical miles south of Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, and approximately 27 nautical miles east of Montauk, New York.
