Coastal winds tend to be more constant, whereas inland wind energy projects have sometimes been unreliable due to intermittent winds. Offshore wind has some advantages over land-based wind energy. Projections show several million tons of carbon dioxide emissions being eliminated due to the fossil fuel-based electricity sources Revolution Wind will replace. Offshore Wind that, as envisioned, is 13 times larger than BIWF, and is projected to generate enough clean energy to power 270,000 homes. The success of BIWF has paved the way for other offshore wind developments.Īlso off the coast of Rhode Island, work is proceeding on the proposed Revolution Wind project, a partnership between National Grid and Ørsted U.S. With those hurdles cleared, BIWF now provides 125GWh of electricity per year, reducing energy costs on Block Island by around 40 percent. The first – and, to date, the only – operating offshore wind farm in the United States, BIWF encountered some pushback during the planning stages, including a lengthy and controversial permitting process, and resistance from some Block Island residents, who claimed the turbines were unsightly and might affect migratory birds.
