Massachusetts – The substation should guarantee local jobs for the next 25 years in both operations and maintenance.

Linxon has announced that they are delivering a turnkey 220/115 kV substation to Vineyard Wind. The substation should connect clean, renewable energy to the ISO New England power grid from the first utility-scale offshore wind project ever built in the United States.

According to Linxon, the design plans make every effort for the substation to blend in with its surroundings and use the highest environmental protection standards. Once the project is operational, it should provide a necessary connection point for clean, renewable energy to the Massachusetts grid.

The project should generate cost-competitive electricity for more than 400,000 homes and businesses across the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and is expected to reduce carbon emissions by more than 1.6 million tons per year.

According to the company, the substation, which will be fully commissioned by 2023, should guarantee local jobs for the next 25 years in both operations and maintenance.
