Wind Energy – USA
Connecticut’s choice of solar and storage over offshore wind has prompted Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) to pull a deal for its 1.2GW Vineyard Wind 2 awarded by neighbouring US state Massachusetts.
Below Vineyard Offshore’s statement in response to Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont’s announcement on the state’s procurement decision.
“We were proud to submit our Vineyard Wind 2 proposal in response to the New England three-state solicitation, and we are grateful to Massachusetts for its provisional award of 800 MW. With Connecticut’s decision today not to purchase the remaining 400 MW we are unable to contract the project’s full 1200 MW at this time. We look forward to advancing this project and participating in future solicitations to meet the region’s growing energy needs while spurring economic investment and creating thousands of American energy jobs.”
