Vineyard Wind proposes Connecticut offshore wind farm

Vineyard Wind has proposed a new offshore wind energy project for Connecticut which would develop up to 1,200 MW of wind energy, generating enough electricity to power 600,000 Connecticut homes.

The Park City Wind project would be constructed in one of Vineyard Wind's two federally designated lease areas, both of which are located south of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket on the east coast and would not be visible from any shoreline in Connecticut, reports Daily Energy Insider.

Along with the wind farm, Vineyard Wind would also construct an operations and maintenance facility in Bridgeport that would serve as the hub for the Park City project.

The Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection is currently reviewing the proposal.
