Renewable energy has become more imperative if contrasted with coal and fossil fuel. Wind turbines are a necessity in renewable landscape but a massive as well as unwieldy one.

The lead in offshore developments are urging interest in wind energy’s potential. Tesla, is gearing up to make Revolution Wind Farm, an offshore project proposed for 12 miles off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts, a development that signals a significant turning point for wind energy.

The company Deepwater Wind, on July 31, worked on both a 90 MW projectproposed for 30 miles off the coast of Montauk and the 30 MW Block Island Wind Farm near Rhode Island, the U.S.’s first successful offshore deal. The 144 MW project would generate enough energy to power 80,000 homes, and attach to a 40 megawatt-hour battery storage system provided by Tesla.

Offshore wind may be mainstream in Europe, where pressure from the European Union to move away from fossil fuels and toward renewables sparked an offshore boom that began in 2011 and has helped bring the share of wind energy in Europe’s energy portfolio up to 12% from 2% just six years ago. Both Massachusetts and New York have implemented aggressive renewable energy portfolio standards

Showing proof-of-concept with this relatively small, battery connected offshore development will pave the way for larger projects to take off–which will eventually drive down manufacturing and implementation costs.
