Nova Scotia, Massachusetts Sign Offshore Wind Cooperation Agreement
The memorandum aims to create thousands of jobs and billions in investment while exploring power grid connections to transmit offshore wind energy to Massachusetts.
- On Wednesday, February 4, 2026, Nova Scotia and Massachusetts signed an MOU in Boston to share regulatory experience and explore grid connections for offshore wind transmission.
- The Wind West plan was first proposed over the summer and includes a $60-billion first phase to produce five gigawatts by 2033.
- Houston said the agreement signals that clean-energy markets are maturing and should boost investor confidence, creating thousands of jobs and billions in investment.
- Meanwhile, the Trump administration attempts to block offshore wind in New England, while Prime Minister Mark Carney said the federal government is prepared to work with Nova Scotia.
- The MOU does not commit investments, making it a coordination step rather than a financing pledge, and a formal call for companies is expected in the coming months.
