PROVIDENCE — Wind energy developer Ørsted and the utility company Eversource are proposing to build an offshore wind farm off the coast of Massachusetts and to sell the power to Rhode Island Energy. The 884-megawatt proposal, enough to power 500,000 Rhode Island homes, would be called 'Revolution Wind 2.' It would be within the same lease area south of Martha's Vineyard where the same partnership had proposed a wind project called Bay State Wind, which wasn't able to find a buyer for its power in Massachusetts and is no longer active.
