Providing further support to a package of previously passed legislation impacting renewables development, Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick set a goal of developing 2,000 megawatts (MW) of wind power capacity by 2020.
“With the growing interest in wind turbines we see in communities across the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the abundant wind resource we have off our coast, wind power is going to be a centerpiece of the clean energy economy we are creating for Massachusetts,” said Patrick.
Massachusetts has been selected by the U.S. Department of Energy for one of just two Wind Technology Testing Centers in the country.
