Wind farm site off Fairhaven, Mass., scrapped

A company proposing an offshore wind farm in Buzzards Bay is dropping one of three locations it was considering.

Patriots Renewables said it’s no longer proposing a cluster of wind turbines off the Fairhaven shoreline because of the area’s high boat traffic and population of endangered roseate terns.

The company, associated with Jay Cashman Inc., of Quincy, says it’s still studying locations off Dartmouth and Naushon Island.

Patriot Renewables said the project’s goal still is to generate 300 megawatts of electricity.
