Mayflower Wind company and Vineyard Winds and its Commonwealth Wind project have been approved by the State and a trio of utility companies for power purchase agreements totaling just over 1,600 megawatts of electricity production. The electricity will travel via underground cable from the offshore wind farm to the former Brayton Point Power Station in Somerset, Massachusetts where it’ll connect to a converter station, which in turn will link to a nearby National Grid substation. The wind power generated is expected to eventually satisfy 25% of the state’s electricity needs for homes and businesses. For those of us who worked so hard to unseat the State’s most polluting coal power plant, this is a major achievement.
