Gov. Maura Healey emphasized the necessity of shifting from fossil fuels to renewable energy, stating, "Bottom line is Massachusetts, we need more power. We need to generate more power to be able to do what we need to do." She characterized the offshore wind selection as a historic step towards energy independence and a cleaner economy, marking it as New England's first coordinated multi-state procurement of offshore wind, boldly declaring, "We're going big."
Massachusetts' selection of offshore wind projects will meet nearly 20 percent of its electric demand, powering over 1.4 million homes while significantly reducing carbon emissions. Healey pointed out that the plan equates to removing one million gas cars from the roads, stating, "We're making New England's first coordinated multi-state procurement of offshore wind. We're going big." This underscores the significance of the projects in addressing climate change.
