SWANSEA — SouthCoast Wind representatives detailed the offshore wind farm proposal they plan to connect to a substation in Brayton Point, suggesting the site could potentially hold two substations, at a meeting held in Swansea on Thursday. 

A handful of residents present at the Swansea Senior and Community Center heard speakers describe the yearslong, study-intensive process to bring the project to life, and the potential for future projects.

SouthCoast Wind has leased over 127,000 acres of federal waters to build its wind energy farm. It plans to deliver the electricity via undersea cable to a substation in Brayton Point, which will convert the current and feed it into the power grid. The project could start construction in 2025.
