Why It Matters
Revolution Wind is one of the first large-scale offshore wind projects to survive the industry's 2023-2024 turbulence. While other projects were cancelled, Ørsted pushed forward with construction. The project will deliver clean power to two states and support New England's decarbonization goals.
