Vineyard Wind, the developer of an 800MW offshore wind project in Massachusetts, U.S., has opened a permanent office in Boston.

According to Vineyard Wind, the new workplace will accommodate the company’s growing staff and provide a range of services for the 800MW wind farm and other projects in earlier stages of development.

The company plans to offer contractor management, regulatory affairs, financing and similar activities needed to support the construction of offshore wind farms.

Vineyard Wind will feature MHI Vestas 9.5MW turbines located some 14 miles south of Martha’s Vineyard on a lease area covering circa 160,000ha.

The 800MW offshore wind farm is expected to enter the construction phase this year and to be operational by 2022.

Vineyard Wind LLC, a joint venture of Avangrid Renewables and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, is headquartered in New Bedford.
