Vineyard Offshore

A week of giving back, packaging meals, and walking for a cure 🩷 The VO team had some quality out-of-office community time this week. We teamed up with End Hunger New England to run a food boxing event in New Bedford, where we packaged more than 30,000 boxes of food (!!!) for local food pantries supporting families in need. We also donned our brightest pinks to join the Susan G. Komen MORE THAN PINK walk for breast cancer. We were so honored to sponsor and participate in the inspiring day - we walk for anyone impacted by breast cancer. 🫶 To many more community days!

We had a wonderful time at the CA Legislative Black Caucus' annual charity event last week! 🎉 It was inspiring to learn about the Black Caucus' priorities and how offshore wind can benefit communities across California. Congrats to Chair Wilson and her team for putting on such a great event! #offshorewind #california #community

Vineyard Wind 2, a proposed offshore wind project, will bring clean power to Connecticut and create jobs for union members. The project, which will deliver 1,200 MW of clean electricity to New England, will reduce carbon pollution and improve air quality.    The project is regionally collaborative, with manufacturing in Providence, RI, operations and maintenance in New Bedford, MA, and construction based in Salem, MA. Vineyard Wind 2 will deepen Connecticut's involvement in the offshore wind industry and create nearly 400 job-years of employment.   "I appreciate Vineyard Offshore's commitment to using union labor on this project." - Keith R Brothers, President, Connecticut State Building and Construction Trades Council   "Building on Vineyard Offshore's pioneering partnership with Groton-based ThayerMahan to localize its bubble curtain business in New Bedford in support of Vineyard Wind 1, ThayerMahan would support continued development of the company's advanced SeaPicket acoustic monitoring system and its Big Bubble Curtain technology, which mitigates underwater construction noise that could disturb whales and other marine life." - Richard Hine, President, Offshore Energy, ThayerMahan, Inc.   What are your thoughts on the proposed Vineyard Wind 2 project and its potential impact on Connecticut's economy and clean energy future?

That's a wrap on #ACPOffshore24! 🙌 Our team's schedule was jam packed covering all things #offshorewind - CEO Alicia Barton kicked off the conference with a fireside chat, and Jacob Miller, Marita Scott, Geri Edens, and Crista Bank joined panels on tribal relations, improving federal permitting, and building trust with fishing communities. 💡 We were thrilled to connect with industry leaders and discuss the future of offshore wind. Thank you American Clean Power Association (ACP) for an insightful few days. Until next year!

Marlena has felt firsthand the devastating impacts of the climate crisis. A 7-time hurricane survivor, she joined clean energy to use her voice for advocacy and be part of the solution. 💡 Marlena Fitzpatrick, MA, MFA is our Workforce Development Manager in New York, the home of our proposed #offshorewind project, Excelsior Wind. She's helping build a #cleanenergy workforce that's equitable and inclusive. 👷🏽♂️ "We are helping to clean the environment, we are restoring our livelihoods, and we're providing work for people in poor neighborhoods." Excelsior Wind would create 2,000 New York jobs and generate up to $578 million in direct economic benefits for the state's disadvantaged communities. 🤝

Last month, we submitted a plan to New York that included 2,000 jobs and $2.6 billion in direct economic benefits for New York, with up to $578 million in benefits going directly to disadvantaged communities. That plan received over 115 letters of support from unions and community groups. These numbers are a testament to the values and commitment of my colleagues here at Vineyard Offshore. This team has demonstrated tireless dedication to building the clean energy future in partnership with the union movement, working families, and frontline communities. My role here has special significance to me as a member of a union household. When I was a teenager, my mom transitioned to working for a union. That transition changed everything - we had financial security, medical coverage, and a pension for the first time in my life. As Labor Relations Manager, I have the privilege of working with the union movement to bring the same transformation to thousands of families through our investments. Vineyard’s commitment to high quality, family sustaining careers, and equitable and inclusive economic development are the north star of our partnerships and planned investments in New York. I’m looking forward to working with Labor and our community partners to make that vision a reality!
