Five more wind turbines just came online at Vineyard Wind 1, making it the largest operating offshore wind farm in the US. Sustainable energy company Avangrid and green investors Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners today announced that the Vineyard Wind 1 project is now delivering more than 136 megawatts (MW) to the electric grid in Massachusetts. (New York’s South Fork Wind, the US’s first complete utility-scale offshore wind farm, is 132 MW.)

Serving tech enthusiasts for over 25 years. Why it matters: Given the number of proposals to move solar and wind energy between countries, subsea transmission of renewable energy is becoming mainstream. The latest ambitious proposition is a subsea energy interconnector between Europe and North America. Considering the number of countries involved, it will take a high degree of technical expertise and geopolitical finesse to pull off. However, hopes are high that it can happen.

Solar system installations saw a significant uptick in 2023, and that number is only expected to increase over the course of the next decade. Federal incentives, like tax subsidies, have played a major role in the interest this clean energy source has garnered over the years, but the fact is that solar panel systems today are also more efficient than they were before.

Are Solar Panels Bad For The Environment?

	Clean energy developers and the bankers who fund them are all pretty confident that a change in power in Washington, should one occur next year, won’t mean the end of the Inflation Reduction Act or the buildout of renewables across the country — except, that is, when it comes to offshore wind. Trump has special contempt for wind energy in all its forms — to him, all wind turbines are bird murderers, but offshore turbines are especially deadly, adding both whales and property values to their list of victims. He has said he will issue an executive order on...
