The 704 MW Revolution Wind offshore wind project has begun delivering power to Connecticut and Rhode Island after surviving two Trump administration stop-work orders reversed in federal court. Built by more than 1,000 local union workers, the 65-turbine project is expected to power over 350,000 homes and save New England ratepayers up to $500 million per year in wholesale energy costs once fully operational.
