Revolution Wind offshore wind project completion

Overview

The Revolution Wind offshore wind project, a $6.2 billion joint venture between Ørsted and Skyborn Renewables, has completed the installation of all 65 turbines. Located in Rhode Island Sound, the 704 megawatt farm is designed to provide power to Rhode Island and Connecticut, potentially serving approximately 350,000 homes and businesses.

Construction reached this milestone following legal hurdles, including two stop-work orders from the Trump administration based on national security concerns; one of these orders was later overturned by a federal judge. While the project has been delivering power to the grid at partial output since March 2026, the completion of all turbine installations allows the facility to prepare for its total 704-megawatt capacity. Full commercial operation and energization are expected by the end of the year. Once fully operational, the project is estimated to save New England ratepayers as much as $500 million annually in wholesale energy costs.
