For the segment, Holden visited Avangrid's headquarters in Orange, Connecticut to speak with Azagra and other company executives about the growing vision for renewable energy in the United States and how Avangrid is leading the path forward toward decarbonization with projects like Vineyard Wind 1, the country's first large-scale offshore wind farm, and network grid investments. Holden also traveled to Tule Wind Farm near San Diego, California, one of Avangrid's more than 70 onshore renewable energy facilities across the United States. There Holden explored the facility and spoke with Avangrid wind technician Chris Ramirez about the impact of the clean energy generated from the wind farm on the region.
