Wind Energy – Lease Areas for Sale
Earlier this week the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) announced it will begin the process for a second Central Atlantic Offshore Wind Sale, and publishing a Call for Information and Nomination in the region.
Network CEO Liz Burdock said: “This announcement from BOEM, and a subsequent second auction in the Central Atlantic, will amplify progress already made on regional supply chain development and ensure East Coast states can achieve their offshore wind targets. We applaud BOEM for delivering on its commitment to another auction in the Central Atlantic, which is needed for Maryland to achieve its 8.5 GW goal and bring more developers to the region. The agency’s efforts further secure investments in critical supply chain facilities, such as LS Greenlink’s Chesapeake, Va. cable facility and the Sparrows Point Steel facility in Baltimore.”
