Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) and Avangrid said the Vineyard Wind 1 offshore wind installation sent electricity to the power grid for the first time late on Jan. 2. The companies on Jan. 3 said Vineyard Wind 1, as part of its initial commissioning, delivered about 5 MW of electricity to the New England grid at 11:52 p.m. local time on Tuesday.
Vineyard Wind is a joint venture between Avangrid, the U.S.-based subsidiary of Spanish energy giant Iberdrola, and CIP, a Danish infrastructure investment group that specializes in renewable energy, particularly wind power.
