SouthCoast Wind, formerly known as Mayflower Wind, is a proposed offshore wind farm in U.S. federal waters about 30 miles south of Martha’s Vineyard and 23 miles south of Nantucket, Massachusetts in Lease OCS-A 0521,[1] which covers 127,388 acres.[2] Construction is expected to start in the late-2020s with power delivery from the project in 2030.

The project is backed by Ocean Winds North America (a global offshore wind collaboration of Engie and EDP Renewables).

It will connect to the grid at the former Brayton Point Power Station.
