Iberdrola enters the U.S. offshore wind market for the first time with an 800 megawatt macro-project

  • Vineyard Wind, a company owned 50% by Iberdrola (through its subsidiary Avangrid), has received authorisation from the Massachusetts Electric Distribution Companies (EDC) to build an offshore wind farm off the east coast of the United States.
  • The wind farm will have an output of 800 megawatts (MW) and will be the first of Iberdrola's large-scale offshore wind farms to be commissioned.
  • The project is part of the State of Massachusetts' goals to develop offshore wind infrastructure under its Green Communities Act.
