Did you know…@Avangrid has had a presence in the region since the Amazon Wind Farm's inception in 2006? This project was NC’s first commercial scale wind project, which began supplying clean energy to power Amazon Web Services Inc.’s cloud data centers in 2016. #KittyHawkWind
Congrats to the three Hampton Roads schools named as winners in the '24 World @KidWind_Project Competition for their innovative turbine designs tested for best output & endurance in high wind speeds! #KittyHawkWind is a proud VA KidWind Challenge sponsor. https://t.co/VkV4FzVk1r
It's Global Wind Day! We’re celebrating innovation in the industry with @Avangrid’s partnership with WindLoop to test a new process for wind turbine blade recycling. Avangrid plans to recycle 100% of its decommissioned turbine blades by 2030. Read more: https://t.co/bHAr3r0zdX
Lines are in for Day 4 at the @BigRockFishing Tournament. #KittyHawkWind is having a blast meeting attendees at our booth by the Big Rock Store. Stop by to meet the team, grab giveaways & learn more about how #offshorewind will coexist with the ocean environment. Good luck all!
Huge opening day this year at the 66th Annual @BigRockFishing Tournament when the 1st blue marlin weighing over 500 lbs was reeled in to win the Fabulous Fisherman division worth $1.729 Million. https://t.co/qj7bcs44D9 Congratulations #HatterasNC based ‘Release!’ #KittyHawkWind
“According to NOAA, moving to more #renewableenergy sources is starting to slow sea-level rise.” However, time is of the essence. By 2050, researchers expect 1-3 feet of sea-level rise in Hampton Roads and 1/3 of the world’s ports to become unusable. https://t.co/9x8dqSUw1O
On #WorldEnvironmentDay we celebrate the Saint-Brieuc #offshorewind project--the 4th fully commissioned OSW project by Iberdrola. https://t.co/x73bWbwGcH Avangrid is leading the development of offshore wind in the US with this global experience from our family of companies.
🆕Big step forward to lead the global #energytransition 👣
🌊Saint-Brieuc #offshorewind farm is now a reality 👉 Our 1st in France, 2nd of the country and Iberdrola's 4th worldwide.
👏More than proud of an amazing team! Let's continue to build the energy of the future today 💪

The US #offshorewind industry is already “driving over $25 billion in new investment, rebuilding communities, creating good-paying jobs... strengthening the reliability of the grid, and delivering clean, American-made energy to our homes.” Read more: https://t.co/4JO3bWo31p
Did you know? The average utility-scale wind turbine consists of about 8,000 parts. The growing domestic supply chain now includes over 80% of nacelle assembly and up to 70% of tower manufacturing occurring in the US for turbines installed here. https://t.co/OAcVBtse0N
Today we celebrate International Day for Women in Maritime by featuring this panel of women from @VaBeachED, @hrva_alliance, @HRWorkforceCoun & @VAMaritime who shared the benefits of #offshorewind projects in the region with the maritime community at ODU's Maritime event in April
#KittyHawkWind shared insights as part of the offshore wind panel at the 2024 Southeast and Mid-Atlantic Marine Mammal Symposium. This regional scientific meeting covers everything from marine mammal conservation and behavior to anatomy and physiology. Proud @seamamms sponsor.
Here's a look back at #KittyHawkWind Project Director Betsy Andrews’ #IPF2024 panel on ways autonomous underwater vehicle innovation can support #offshorewind surveys and inspections to improve health & safety and result in lower carbon emissions than traditional survey vessels.
