Connecticut Approves 250 Megawatts of Clean Energy Including 200 Megawatt Revolution Offshore Wind Farm

The State of Connecticut has this week approved 250 megawatts (MW) worth of renewable energy projects submitted to a recent Request for Proposals, including what will be the state’s first offshore wind farm, the 200 MW Revolution Wind Project proposed by Deepwater Wind.

Connecticut Governor Dannel P. Malloy and the state’s Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) Commissioner Robert Klee announced on Wednesday the projects awarded out of DEEP’s recent Clean Energy Request for Proposals.

Of particular interest from the awarded projects, however, was the 200 MW Revolution Wind Project, first announced by developer Deepwater Wind back in the middle of 2017 when it was a proposed 144 MW offshore wind farm with a 40 MW-hour (MWh) Tesla battery storage system.  Deepwater Wind proposed several variations for the Request for Proposals, and it has now been reimagined as a 200 MW project.

The 200 MW Revolution Wind Project is in addition to the 400 MW Revolution Wind project that was awarded capacity by the state of Rhode Island in late-May — meaning simply that Deepwater Wind will develop 600 MW worth of offshore wind power at its site located roughly halfway between Montauk, N.Y., and Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts.  More specifically, the project is located within the same federal lease site as Deepwater Wind’s 90 MW South Fork Wind Farm which is currently in development.
