Interior Department Approves Major Offshore Wind Project Near Rhode Island

The Department of the Interior approved the Revolution Wind project, a 704-megawatt offshore wind farm near Rhode Island.
The project is expected to power about 250,000 homes and create around 1,200 construction jobs.
Revolution Wind supports the Biden administration's goal of achieving 30 gigawatts of offshore wind capacity by 2030.
The wind farm will include measures to protect marine life and compensate local fisheries.
The approval represents continued progress and investment in US offshore wind energy under the Biden administration.
