The nation's first offshore wind farm has opened off the coast of Rhode Island, ushering in a new era in the U.S. for the industry.
Deepwater Wind built five turbines three miles off Block Island, Rhode Island, to power about 17,000 homes. It announced Monday that the wind farm has begun producing energy for the grid.
Deepwater Wind CEO Jeffrey Grybowski calls the opening a momentous occasion that unlocks the code of how to do offshore wind in the U.S.
Bureau of Ocean Energy Management Director Abigail Ross Hopper says the wind farm proves that offshore wind can happen safely and efficiently, and will be important to the nation's energy future.
Deepwater Wind installed the turbines in August and has been testing the system. National Grid is buying the output.
