Revolution Wind Targets Full Commercial Operation by the End of 2026
- Revolution Wind completed installation of its 65th and final Siemens Gamesa turbine, reported on 18 September 2026; Ørsted said commissioning continues with a target of full operations by the end of the year[1]
- The first turbine went up in September 2024 and the farm began delivering power to the New England grid in mid-March 2026 at about 90% complete; by mid-August it was more than 95% complete with 61 of 65 turbines installed[1][3][4][5]
- Revolution Wind is 704 MW, 400 MW for Rhode Island and 304 MW for Connecticut under 20-year power purchase agreements, enough for about 350,000 homes, and is owned 50/50 by Ørsted and Skyborn Renewables; media reports put the investment at $6.2 billion[1][3]
- Two federal stop-work orders in 2025 (August and December) were both overturned in court, and a preliminary injunction issued in January 2026 still keeps the second order from being enforced[1][3]
- Ørsted first planned commercial operation for 2025 but moved it to 2026 because contamination at the former naval disposal site where the onshore substation is built took longer to clear than expected[2]
- Connecticut's energy department estimates the farm will save New England ratepayers $500 million a year in wholesale energy costs once at full commercial operation[5]

Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most. A picture that shows something else, or shows it badly, is looked at too, and moved down or replaced.
