Iberdrola Group-owned US energy services firm Avangrid has said its two renewable schemes, set to bring a combined 2 GW to the New England grid, are on track to gain approval next year. In a joint venture with Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, Avangrid will construct the 800 MW Vineyard Wind, the US's first large-scale offshore wind farm, off the Massachusetts coast. The project is expected to be completed in 2022, and it would generate enough electricity for about 50,000 homes.
