Mayflower Wind

Mayflower Wind draws from the deep experience and skills of its sponsor companies in successfully permitting, financing, constructing and operating offshore energy production facilities.  Shell and Ocean Winds are willing and able players in the global energy transition, and see commercial opportunity in participating in the drive to provide more and cleaner energy solutions.

• Over 10,000 good-paying new jobs and supply chain growth across all phases—development, construction, and operations 
• Construction of the landfall, underground cabling, and onshore substation will create demand for a variety of qualified local contractors and retail businesses  
• At least 75% of operations and maintenance jobs will be locally-based

• Nearly $2.5 billion in anticipated total economic benefit to the Commonwealth, according to the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources 
• Host municipalities on the SouthCoast and Upper Cape Cod will benefit from increased business activity, taxes, and other revenue
