And that remains the only mandate in place. It took another year after Revolution was announced for the Connecticut legislature to approve an authorization of up to 2,000 megawatts by 2030, not including Revolution. New Jersey had already mandated 3,500 megawatts of development by 2030 and, in addition to its own mandate, Massachusetts had rehabbed a port to handle offshore wind components and opened a turbine-testing facility. Revolution Wind, at the time it was approved, however, was not enough to satisfy environmental advocates and others because the state still hadn’t done what its neighbors, Massachusetts, New York and New Jersey, had already done, which was to authorize large amounts of offshore wind to be developed. It’s another Eversource/Ørsted project that will provide power to New York from the waters between Block Island and Martha’s Vineyard. One portion is complete, and in just a few weeks, turbine components will be delivered then assembled and shipped out for construction at a lease area called South Fork Wind. The port authority running the State Pier has been mired in political, financial and ethical upheaval, but its redevelopment for offshore wind is moving along.
Revolution is being developed by Eversource and Ørsted from hubs at the State Pier in New London and ProvPort in Rhode Island. Not huge, but the first grid-scale offshore wind power for each state. Another portion of Revolution will supply 400 megawatts to Rhode Island. Another 100 megawatts was added, and the project’s current total is a little over 300 megawatts. What happened and why?Ĭonnecticut was already late to the offshore wind game in June of 2018 when it approved its first project - just 200 megawatts of what is now called Revolution Wind. It’s also clear that the contract is not the only problem facing the Park City project. “Avangrid is working with all stakeholders to find solutions to the global price increases outside of its control and deliver these important projects to Massachusetts and Connecticut,” said company spokesman Craig Gilvarg.Īlthough the exact status of the Park City Wind contract is unknown, the events leading up to this point are less of a mystery. “However, this is something that is a larger, much larger problem than any one project with inflation.” She is director of clean energy policy at the Environmental League of Massachusetts and also regional lead for the New England for Offshore Wind coalition, which the league started. “This situation is certainly unfortunate, and we wish that we weren’t here,” said Susannah Hatch of the contract upheaval. It’s a development that has the potential to send Connecticut back almost to the starting gate on offshore wind - the energy source the state has, for several years now, viewed as the near-panacea that will deliver it from its fossil fuel past to its climate-change-mitigating future, including reaching its mandate for a zero-carbon grid by 2040. Avangrid has cited inflation and high interest rates, along with their causes - COVID, supply chain problems and the Russian invasion of Ukraine - as the factors necessitating more revenue to ensure financing to build Park City. Its developer, Avangrid - parent of United Illuminating and the American arm of the multi-national Spanish energy company Iberdrola - is trying to rewrite, renegotiate, rebid or otherwise alter its offshore wind contract with Connecticut, according to industry sources. In the past they have used this cheese to make me a pizza and lied and not gave it back to me and told me they.Connecticut could be in danger of losing its biggest offshore wind project - the more than 800 megawatt plan known as Park City Wind.
I brought in my own cheese because I have dietary restrictions. Nasty place no gloves hold money go back right to work. He said, what's going I have been waiting 5 minutes. I received horrible customer service with this Dominos! The deliver called me twice when I was walking downstairs to obtain my order. They also offer car side delivery which is super convenient. This is one of the better dominos in the area. It's domino's and it matches the domino's standard, which I actually prefer over some other common pizza places. I got a few pizzas here to avoid having to cook dinner and this worked nicely.
