(New Shoreham, RI) -- National Grid is suspending work to re-bury a portion of a high-voltage electricity cable for the Block Island Wind Farm. The utility company says it needs to further-assess the cause of obstructions in a newly-installed pipe at Crescent Beach. With summer tourism season approaching, the decision was made to put the project on hold until the fall. The Providence Journal reports Orsted, the owner of the wind farm, experienced no issues for its portion of the cable replacement and said it will be finished before summer.
