WASHINGTON – Through a <\/span>Record of Decision<\/a> (ROD), the Biden administration gave final approval for Vineyard Wind 1, an offshore wind project off the coast of Massachusetts. This decision, which comes after years of permitting delays, gives the greenlight to what will be the first utility-scale offshore wind farm in the country. Experts expect this decision to spur other offshore wind developments. Vineyard Wind\u2019s project serves as the first step toward realizing the Biden administration\u2019s initiative<\/a> to develop 30 gigawatts (GW) of offshore wind by 2030, which was announced last month. <\/p>\n
