BOSTON — SEPTEMBER 18, 2026 — This week, Revolution Wind installed the final blade on its sixty-fifth turbine, marking the completion of a long, disrupted construction process.  

“The completion of Revolution Wind is a regional victory. New England is now home to two of our nation’s first large scale offshore wind projects, and we’re grateful for the workers who built these projects.” says Katie Segal, Senior Offshore Wind Director at the Environmental League of Massachusetts, and State Lead for NE4OSW-MA, “This work has faced unimaginable challenges, but this week is proof that with continued partnership, investment, and determination, we will continue to make offshore wind a reality for the United States.” 

Revolution Wind, once fully operational, will be the second commercial grade offshore wind farm in the US – Vineyard Wind 1 off the coast of Massachusetts was completed earlier this year and finalized its utility contracts in June.  

“The installation of the final turbine for the 704 MW Revolution Wind project should be a cause for celebration for everyone in Connecticut”, said Charles Rothenberger, director of government relations for Save the Sound, and Co-State Lead for NE4OSW-Connecticut.  “The first power from Revolution Wind began flowing to the grid in March and with this latest milestone full energization of the project is expected by the end of the year, just in time to ensure a significant contribution to the region’s winter energy reliability.  Revolution wind will provide clean, affordable power to more than 350,000 homes in Connecticut and Rhode. By displacing more expensive fossil fuel generation, the project is anticipated to save ratepayers half a billion dollars annually while reducing pollution in our communities.” 

“After not one, but two stop work orders, Revolution Wind has installed its final blade and is expected to begin delivering 704MW of clean electricity to the New England grid by the end of the year, and the timing couldn’t be more important.” says Amanda Barker, Clean Energy Program Director at Green Energy Consumers Alliance and State Lead for NE4OSW-RI, “Offshore wind can save ratepayers by helping New England avoid turning to expensive oil-fired power plants during winter cold snaps. A Power Advisory Analysis found that if Revolution Wind had been operating during the January 2026 cold snap, it could have displaced about 8.5% of oil-fired generation during the 8-day period analyzed, saving Rhode Island ratepayers an estimated $14.4 million in just that 8-day cold snap alone. And with oil prices as high as they are right now, Revolution wind means less reliance on the expensive and volatile fuel, and more savings for ratepayers this upcoming winter.”
