TAG: Correspondent Jeremy House reporting. Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind is another 2,600-megawatt project, to be built east of Virginia Beach, Virginia. The last operating coal-fired power plant in Massachusetts, Brayton Point, at 1,600 megawatts, closed in 2017.
—————————
VERBATIM: The project is expected to be large enough to provide more electricity than the state’s former coal-fired generating station. Avangrid’s New England Wind is the United States’ eighth large offshore wind project to be greenlit. The project, to be built in two phases, was approved for up to 129 turbines capable of generating up to 2,600 megawatts of electricity.
