Vineyard Wind

The first turbine for Vineyard Wind is officially complete. The turbine stands almost three times as tall as the Statue of Liberty.

People on Nantucket are getting a look at the first assembled turbine for Vineyard Wind.

The Healey administration signs a wind agreement with two other states, and Vineyard Wind inches closer to turbine No. 1.

The tower, three blades and nacelle weigh more than 1,700 tons.

As a golden sunrise lights up New Bedford’s commercial fishing fleet, an unusual passenger ship is steaming out of the harbor toward Vineyard Wind.

Governor Maura Healey says she’ll focus on finding funding to replace the Sagamore Bridge ahead of the Bourne Bridge. COVID cases are ticking up locally. And downtown New Bedford could soon lose a beloved arts center.

It was recently outfitted with a larger crane to handle increasingly larger wind turbines, including the General Electric Haliade-X model used by Vineyard Wind.

They are the third and last major component — along with tower sections and blades — to arrive before the first turbines can be installed.

The first six Vineyard Wind turbine blades arrive as work begins on the turbine foundations offshore.

Workers stacked the blades three high on the far side of the offshore wind terminal, where they will wait to be ferried out to the wind farm starting this summer.
