Congressman Auchincloss’ Statement on Brayton Point

Yesterday (1/17/25), Prysmian Group announced it will end the development of its proposed $300 million cable manufacturing plant at Brayton Point. Congressman Jake Auchincloss (MA-04) issued the following statement:

"Prysmian's decision to walk away from its planned submarine cables factory at Brayton Point is disappointing and discouraging. The factory, on the site of a decommissioned coal-fired power plant, would have created hundreds of good jobs producing the submarine cables that plug offshore wind turbines into the electrical grid.

"Alongside dozens of stakeholders, including state & local officials and union representatives, I have worked hard to make Brayton Point an exemplar of the clean-energy economy. Donald Trump has unraveled that promise of good jobs by threatening a moratorium on offshore wind, generating so much uncertainty that companies pull back investment. Despite this setback, I remain committed to Brayton Point's redevelopment in partnership with the town of Somerset."
