Providence New Bedford, RI, November 6, 2026 — Revolution Wind, a significant offshore wind energy project developed by Ørsted, has officially reached its full operational capacity. The project is now delivering electricity to consumers in Rhode Island and the broader southern New England region. This development marks the culmination of a 15-year effort to bring the wind farm online.
The 704-megawatt project comprises 65 wind turbines. Operations commenced in March 2026, and upon achieving full capacity, the facility is expected to provide power for an estimated 350,000 homes each year. This supply is contracted to continue for a period of two decades.
The achievement represents a notable milestone for Ørsted and for the expansion of renewable energy infrastructure in the region. The development and construction phases spanned 15 years, involving extensive planning and execution to establish the offshore wind farm.
