704MW Revolution Wind to begin commercial operation in October... request for permit review

Ørsted said on November 5 that its 704MW Revolution Wind offshore project began commercial operations in October, supplying power to utilities in Connecticut and Rhode Island under contracted power purchase agreements. The project, which endured two construction stop-work orders, started transmitting electricity to the New England grid in March 2026, with commercial operation marking the start of contracted supply. The milestone matters because it confirms delivery of one of the largest US offshore wind projects after repeated permitting disruptions. However, the federal government has requested a review of prior approvals, leaving the permitting dispute unresolved. Watch for the outcome of that federal review and any impact on Revolution Wind's contracted deliveries.
