Vineyard Wind Only Producing 300 Megawatts

by Frank Haggerty

on Friday

Vineyard Wind 1 was designed to generate 806 megawatts (MW) of electricity from 62 turbines, enough to power over 400,000 homes and businesses in Massachusetts.
.
In a Suffolk Superior Civil Court filing, May 7, 2026, Case # 2684CV01041 Vineyard Wind 1 vs GE Renewables US LLC, it was disclosed that Vineyard Wind is producing 300 Megawatts. 
.
The project is also not commercially viable. see quote

Several multiple quotes in the filing by Klaus Skoust Møller, a member of the Executive Committee of Vineyard Wind 1 LLC.

Quote:  "10. That maximum theoretical output remains well short of the Project's expected total nameplate capacity of approximately 806 MW. The Project's current actual average output remains well below even that-and is closer to 300 MW." 
.
Quote: "13. As I explained in my prior declarations, the Project is not commercially viable at its current output levels."

    It is normal for wind turbines to produce less than nameplate capacity. The best output numbers I have seen for OS wind is 45% capacity factor.

    OS wind was hailed as the New England states' answer to providing the renewable energy credits required to keep up with renewable energy compliance. Maine Democrats think Maine should be 100% renewable by 2040 and counted on OS wind to enable this scam.

    Maine is destined to charge electric customers for renewable energy credits that do not exist as there will not be adequate amounts of renewable energy producing electricity.

    The penalty for electricity providers for not securing the compliance amount of renewable energy credits is the Alternative Compliance Payment that will add cost to customers of 5 cents+ per kilowatt hour. Rather than paying for useless and expensive wind and solar which doesn't show up, you will be paying for nothing and pay plenty.
