SouthCoast Wind Construction and Operations Plan

SouthCoast Wind submitted its Construction and Operations Plan (COP) on February 15, 2021. Updated COP versions were submitted on August 30, 2021, October 28, 2021, March 16, 2022, December 22, 2022, September 19, 2023, July 31, 2024, and November 1, 2024.

SouthCoast Wind intends to develop, build, and operate a commercial offshore wind energy facility capable of producing up to 2,400 megawatts (MW) of renewable energy. The project is located within federal waters on the OCS, specifically in BOEM Renewable Energy Lease Area OCS-A 0521, approximately 23 miles offshore Massachusetts.
