	In April 2026, the Healey-Driscoll administration filed legislation (House Bill 5377, filed by Healey on April 15) to redirect up to $70M to the new offshore wind terminal project. The Offshore Wind Tax Incentive Program was originally meant for an owner of an offshore wind facility rather than something like the wind terminal in Salem. Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC) had not received any applications in the prior two years, but had budgeted $35M for both. This money will support the first phase of construction in Salem. If the legislature is approved, it will fill the funding gap necessary for phase one and construction will be able to begin. Once completed, the project will be the second offshore wind terminal in the state other than New Bedford.

Once completed, the project will be the second offshore wind terminal in the state other than New Bedford.

			The project, estimated to cost $250M-$300 (In addition to $75M from MassCEC, Salem Offshore Wind Terminal was supposed to receive $36M in grants from the federal government). In August 2025, the Department of Transportation rescinded $34M of the $36M grant promised to the project. Plans are being made to design a new port to account for the loss of the funds.

			As of May 2026, the project is paused due to ongoing political conflicts with the Trump administration, including a January 2025 executive order by Trump halting new leases for offshore wind.

	The '''Salem Offshore Wind Terminal''' was announced to be in development at the site of Salem Harbor Station in 2021, with agreements to develop the site in 2024. According to the Salem Offshore Wind Terminal site, "The terminal will be a logistics and operations center for turbine pre-assembly, transportation, staging activities and storage of assembly components." The project will redevelop the Salem Harbor Station and will create more than 800 jobs. The partnership is between Crowley, the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC), and the City of Salem.

	Trump issued an executive order halting new leases for offshore wind in January of 2025. While the order was overturned by a judge, there have been no new wind leases issued by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management. The Salem offshore wind terminal was expected to cost anywhere between $250M to $300M (in addition to $75M promised from MassCEC and the state). The project was promised federal grants amounting to $36M and in August 2025, the Department of Transportation officially rescinded $34M of that grant.
