New England Wind, formerly called Park City Wind and Commonwealth Wind, is a proposed offshore wind farm to be located about 23 miles (37 km) off the coast of Martha's Vineyard (MA) on Outer Continental Shelf in U.S. territorial waters of the East Coast of the United States. Avangrid is the developer.
The project takes its original name from the nickname of Bridgeport, Connecticut, where a offshore wind port is being developed to support the project at Bridgeport Harbor. Electric transmission cables from the project would make an underground landfall at Craigville Beach in Barnstable, Massachusetts.
As of 2022 a draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) and a construction and operations plan (COP) had been submitted to BOEM. It was projected to be commissioned in 2027.
In October 2023, Avangrid canceled its contract with Connecticut due to higher development costs. It intends to rebid the project for a higher price.
BOEM issued approval of the project's construction and operations plan in July 2024.
Avangrid has divided the project into two sections for bidding in the joint Connecticut–Rhode Island–Massachusetts offshore wind procurement, one with 791 MW (formerly Park City Wind) and one with 1,080 MW (formerly Commonwealth Wind). The project was awarded a contract with Massachsetts for 791 MW in September 2024. This section is expected to begin construction in 2025 with commercial operation by 2030.
