MA Gov. Baker Talks Wind Energy in New Bedford

According to NBC 10, Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker and Attorney General Maura Healey came to New Bedford Wednesday to celebrate the offshore wind industry location.

 

The two were in the city at the same time, but at different events. Baker was at the New Bedford Marine Commerce Terminal, the staging area for offshore wind farm construction, to highlight Climate Week. Attorney General Maura Healey toured New Bedford on Wednesday.

 

The city’s plan is to become the epicenter of a new offshore wind initiative. The Vineyard Wind Project is expected to be the nation’s first large-scale offshore wind project.

 

Construction is scheduled to begin next year, and to be finished in 2023. It also was approved by the Biden Administration earlier this year.
