Anticipation builds for the latest round of offshore wind solicitation in New England
BOSTON, MA – The southern New England states are poised to receive a robust set of competitive proposals from offshore wind developers in the upcoming offshore wind solicitation spanning Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. In addition to the unique three-state collaboration, the recent guidance from the U.S. Department of Treasury should provide this round of bidding with an abundance of options to deliver clean energy solutions, foster economic development, and secure savings for utility ratepayers.
"This solicitation marks a significant step towards revitalizing offshore wind projects in the United States,” stated Jeremy McDiarmid, Managing Director at Advanced Energy United. “We anticipate a highly competitive landscape, with established developers vying to contribute innovative solutions to meet New England’s energy needs.”
United remains committed to advancing the offshore wind sector, recognizing its pivotal role in the clean energy economy, and United is working with offshore wind and transmission developers to create a 100% clean-energy future.
Selected projects are expected to be announced this summer.
