Dominion Energy aims to expand its Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) project by acquiring the Kitty Hawk North offshore wind lease area in North Carolina from Avangrid.

The company wants to transmit solar and wind energy from Kansas to other places in the Midwest.

The systems will add 340 MW/1360 MWh of additional battery storage capacity to SRP’s system.

Avangrid has commissioned 10 turbines at the 806 MW Vineyard Wind 1 project, making it the largest operating offshore wind project in the USA.

Eversource has received tentative approval by a Massachusetts siting board to build an underground substation.

Funding should enable development and demonstration of scalable innovative LDES solutions to connect and provide stored renewable energy to the State’s grid.

More than 1700 households were left without power in the Cambridgeport neighborhood of Harvard.

The grants are planned for funding 141 energy security projects to ensure communities have access to clean electricity.

The project aims to enhance the western electric grid and bring more than 3000 MW of renewable energy resources to consumers.

This will be done to deliver more low-cost renewable energy to customers throughout the Upper Midwest and reduce annual consumer costs.

Both projects were first awarded in 2019 as part of NYSERDA’s first offshore wind solicitation and were later re-awarded.

The line will be the USA’s first HVDC transmission connection among three regional US electric energy markets.

The selected projects will support 85 GW of capacity by 2035, including the first phase of development expected to bring offshore wind energy from the North Coast to the state grid.

The initiative focuses on the deployment of advanced conductors and grid enhancing technologies, aiming to enhance transmission capacity and efficiency.

The projects include the installation of substation equipment, 28 underground and 69 overhead transformers, 938 sections of underground and overhead cable and 241 poles.

The 168 MVA transformer can be quickly deployed, enabling the company to resolve outages in the event of a damaged transformer.

Southern California Edison and Lotus Infrastructure Partners have won a tender to deliver transmission infrastructure in California to accommodate more renewables.

The 201 MW Bent Tree Wind Farm in Minnesota will be expanded to 351 MW.

The agreement comes after Avangrid abandoned an $8.3 billion deal to acquire US competitor PNM Resources in January.

The wind farm will have a capacity of 810 MW.

Order No. 1977 was unanimously approved, laying out the framework for implementing its limited authority over siting transmission lines.

A critical transmission line that serves as a back-up route of power to 11000 customers in West Maui is now online.
