Iberdrola through Avangrid, its subsidiary in the United States, has been awarded to build a new wind farm off the coast of Massachusetts (United States), which will border\u00a0Vineyard Wind 1<\/a> to the south. This is New England Wind 1, formerly known as Park City Wind, which together with New England Wind 2 will form part of a 1,870 MW wind farm complex capable of delivering an urgent energy, climate and economic solution to this US state.<\/p>\n

Bringing $3 billion of direct investment to the region and the creation of 4,400 new jobs, New England Wind 1<\/a> will have an installed capacity of 791 MW, providing clean and reliable energy to power nearly 400,000 homes and reducing emissions equivalent to taking 300,000 gasoline-based cars off the road annually.\u00a0The project will be carried out through Vineyard Wind company.<\/p>\n

The park will be located approximately 30 miles south of Barnstable of the coast of Massachusetts \u2212 south of Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket, just where the strongest east coast winds blow \u2212 and will not be visible from any point on the coast, reducing the visual impact<\/a> it may have on the environment.\u00a0In addition to the wind farm itself, the New England 1 project includes the construction of a new port in Salem and a new offshore wind manufacturing plant in New Bedford.<\/p>\n

With local, state, and federal permits, all interconnection rights secured, and a Project Labour Agreement signed, Avangrid is awaiting approval of a power purchase agreement to begin building this new project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Iberdrola through Avangrid, its subsidiary in the United States, has been awarded to build a new wind farm…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":17919,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[122],"tags":[146],"class_list":{"0":"post-17918","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-iberdrola","8":"tag-iberdrola"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17918","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17918"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17918\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17919"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17918"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17918"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17918"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
