Rhode Island is industry leader for offshore wind projects

With the first working offshore wind farm in the United States, we know that Rhode Island is an industry leader. But we're not stopping there--our second offshore wind project, Revolution Wind, is set to commence construction this year. When construction is complete, Revolution Wind will power nearly 263,000 households at a rate of 9.8 cents per kilowatt for 20 years. This is an important step toward meeting our Act on Climate goals. Source: 2024 State of the State Address to the R.I. legislature , Jan 17, 2024
