An offshore wind project targeted by the Trump administration is now online and sending energy to New England’s grid
Rhode Island’s first utility-scale offshore wind farm, Revolution Wind, has officially come online and started delivering power to the electric grid, despite repeated efforts by the Trump administration to shut it down.
The wind farm will supply electricity for more than 350,000 homes across Rhode Island and Connecticut, and is expected to save customers an estimated $500 million annually by displacing more expensive power.
The project is now 93% complete and is set to be fully operational before the end of this year.
Why is this good news?Officials say the project will provide the region with clean energy that will both help it meet its climate goals and offer an alternative power source to ease prices, especially in winter, and especially considering the current rising fuel costs due to the war in Iran.

A leading public-health nonprofit — the Anxious Generation Movement — recently released a “Childhood Index” ranking, which evaluated all 50 states on state laws regarding childhood independence, social media age limits, and tech regulation.
New York and Utah, which recently instituted “bell-to-bell” bans on phone use, were the only states classified as “national leaders” on the index.
However, six states — Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Nebraska, Texas, and Vermont — were labeled “rising stars” for making progress on at least two policy priorities.
