Revolution Wind is a landmark offshore wind energy project jointly developed by Ørsted, a global clean energy leader, and Global Infrastructure Partners’ Skyborn Renewables. It is the first commercial-scale offshore wind farm serving Rhode Island and Connecticut, located about 15 miles south of the Rhode Island coast and 32 miles southeast of Connecticut, with 65 wind turbines planned to generate 704 megawatts (MW) of clean energy[1][2][6]. The project began local onshore construction in 2023 with offshore construction starting in 2024, aiming for full operation by 2026. Once operational, Revolution Wind will supply 400 MW to Rhode Island and 304 MW to Connecticut, powering over 350,000 homes across the two states. This represents the first multi-state offshore wind venture in the United States, playing a critical role in helping these states meet ambitious clean energy goals: Rhode Island targets 100% renewable electricity by 2033, and Connecticut aims for 100% zero-carbon electricity by 2040[1][2][3]. Revolution Wind is not only an energy project but also a major economic driver. It is expected to create thousands of direct and indirect jobs, support new education and training programs (including a GWO safety training center at the Community College of Rhode Island), and expand the blue economy supply chain. The project received all necessary federal and state permits after nearly a decade of review and secured 20-year power purchase agreements approved by regulatory authorities, ensuring stable and affordable clean energy for ratepayers while reducing dependency on natural gas and mitigating energy price spikes in New England[1][2][3][5]. However, in August 2025, the U.S. Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) issued a stop-work order halting offshore activities due to federal appropriations issues. At that time, the project was about 80% complete offshore, with all foundations installed and 45 o
