Massive Offshore Wind Farms Deliver Delicious Battery Power to the US Power Grid

Offshore wind turbines at two commercial-scale sites are now sending power to the U.S. grid. The firms wanted to deliver offshore wind power via the site before the end of 2023; they missed that goal by just a few days. The Vineyard Wind news comes about a month after another offshore site near Montauk Point, New York declared a similar breakthrough. Dubbed South Fork Wind, the offshore wind project so far has two turbines installed, with one operating. Yet, U.S. offshore wind has suffered some blows recently, in spite of support from the Biden administration, which made offshore turbines a key part of its strategy to reduce climate pollution.
