INSPIRE Featured on Rhode Island Public Radio – Assessing Environmental Impacts of the Block Island Wind Farm

INSPIRE Featured on Rhode Island Public Radio – Assessing Environmental Impacts of the Block Island Wind Farm

INSPIRE is in the news again this week with another great piece by Ambar Espinoza and Elizabeth Harrison of Rhode Island Public Radio, telling the story of early environmental results from the construction of Deepwater Wind’s Block Island Wind Farm. Features Professors Jim Miller and Bob Kenney of URI Graduate School of Oceanography and INSPIRE’s very own Jeanine Boyle.  This marks the second time this week that our company has been featured in reports by Rhode Island Public Radio.

Deepwater Wind contracted Rhode Island-based INSPIRE Environmental to conduct a range of environmental assessments that helped secure permits to build the Block Island Wind Farm and its underwater cable. Much of this work continues as the Block Island Wind Farm moves into its next phase of electricity production.
