Revolution Wind Offshore Wind Project Enters Commercial Operation
The 704-megawatt project can power about 350,000 homes and is expected to save customers roughly $500 million a year starting in 2028.
- On Thursday, Danish developer Orsted announced its 704-megawatt Revolution Wind project reached full commercial operation off Rhode Island, now delivering electricity to the New England grid.
- The $6.2 billion project overcame repeated stop-work orders from the Trump administration, which federal judges rejected as the "height of arbitrary and capricious" in a series of legal rulings.
- Comprising 65 turbines, the facility supplies 400 megawatts to Rhode Island and 304 megawatts to Connecticut, generating enough electricity for about 350,000 homes across the Northeast.
- Rhode Island Gov. Dan McKee called the completion "a major win," while Independent System Operator New England noted offshore wind enhances grid reliability during peak demand periods.
- Starting in 2028, the project is projected to save ratepayers roughly $500 million annually; Orsted is simultaneously advancing the 924-megawatt Sunrise Wind project toward 2027 commissioning.
