An Iberdrola SA unit’s plan for a major offshore wind development south of Martha’s Vineyard is the latest project to win approval from the Biden administration.
Avangrid Inc.’s New England Wind project is expected to generate as much as 2.6 gigawatts of electricity, enough to power more than 900,000 homes, the Interior Department said Tuesday in a statement. The project will be located about 20 nautical miles south of the holiday destination in Massachusetts.
