"Be the first large scale offshore wind energy project in the United States. This project will generate enough electricity for about 400 ,000 homes. The E. O. Of Vineyard Wind. Lars Peterson says this new project will kick start the industry. Vineyard will be the first to use a new turbine that stands more than 850 ft tall, with each of its three blades stretching more than the length of a football field. About 15 miles south of Nantucket, off the coast of Massachusetts, a massive new wind farm is rising out of of the Atlantic Ocean. The project is expected to start delivering electricity this fall. Those turbines will bring the Biden administration closer to its goal of the U. S. Generating 30 gigawatts of power from clean offshore wind by 2030. But that goal won't be easy to reach. Building those super tall wind turbines is not cheap, and some projects have faltered. Costs have gone up. Price of steel has gone up. These giant towers use a lot of of the projects costs are higher than they expected. That's Bloomberg's Will Wade got he on a big boat to check out the wind farm and a bit later I talked to Nick Schultz. He's a commercial diver working on this project and I asked him what it's like to build a wind turbine in deep water. Most of our day is just making sure it all goes right because you know when pick you up something that weighs a million pounds you got to have it Will, you went out to see this giant wind project. What was it like? really It was fun I had to go to Cape Cod in the summer and like all my co -workers were like wow that's a real hardship assignment. Journalism can be tough. It is. We headed about two hours due south from Hyannis out past Martha's Vineyard and then when we get there there's six monopiles sticking out of the ocean. The monopile is the foundation that they're going to attach the turbines to. Eventually there's going to be 62 62 turbines so they'll have to do 62 monopiles and then they go out and attach the turbine so there were six of them there and they're sticking out of the ocean maybe 50 feet but then a couple of miles away they've got the substation that thing was just huge they needed four monopiles for that and then they built the platform on top of that it's a couple of hundred feet up and then the substation and you know when you're in the ocean it's hard to see scale so this thing is literally almost as big as football a field just sitting on a platform in the middle of the ocean so all the turbines are going to be wired to the substation the substation takes the electricity and it puts it on a big cable all the way to shore and so they have these platforms these monopiles that turbines the will go on and then how big are the turbines themselves going to be I think we've all seen those things you know the big blades spinning yeah if you've ever seen a wind turbine on land you know it's big but but the ones they make for offshore they're even bigger they're really big so these are going to be 850 feet tall and I did a little math that works out almost exactly to the height of the Washington Monument with the Statue of Liberty stacked on top this project it's going to 62 be of them it's about 800 megawatts of capacity that's going to be enough to power 400 ,000 homes in the region it's a big project and how long has this been under development it's under been development for a long time they got their initial power purchase agreement back in 2018. So they're just now starting to put these turbines up how long until this thing is It's supposed to be complete in early 2024 but they told me that the the ones first that are going to be installed they're going to be wiring up as soon as they can they should be delivering electricity in October already delivery well that seems pretty soon yeah it's really soon this will be the first electricity from a large -scale US offshore wind project there are two other offshore wind projects in service in the united states but they're really just test projects one is near block island megawatts with five turbines that was the first one and then there's another one down in Virginia it only has two turbines there's really just you know a demonstration project so I imagine that people who like to use the beach and own property along the shoreline don't really want to look out and see turbines giant spinning can you see it from the shore i mean they're big you could see them from a but I'm told that you will not be able to see it from the shore we talked a lot about how we're trying wean to ourselves from natural gas from coal from other fossil fuels and move toward wind and in solar why did it take so long for a project like this to get underway this has just been a slow -moving industry in the United States and certainly since this is the first big project it's getting a lot of attention they all
