Wind Energy – Delay
Massachusetts delayed finalizing contracts for a pair of offshore wind projects last week, adding to the uncertainty facing the industry as President-elect Donald Trump returns to the White House.
The decision marks the second time state officials and local utilities have extended negotiations to buy power from a pair of wind projects capable of powering nearly a million homes.
Massachusetts punted a decision on the contracts for New England Wind 1 and SouthCoast Wind in November. In a filing with state utility regulators, a team of local utilities and state officials said they now expect the contracts to be finalized by March 31.
