General – Agreement
Premier Tim Houston and Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey signed an agreement on February 4 to work toward Nova Scotia supplying the state with clean energy from offshore wind.
New England, like many markets, anticipates growing energy needs that could be met in part by Nova Scotia’s budding offshore wind industry.
The memorandum of understanding between the Province of Nova Scotia and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts affirms the strong, collaborative relationship between the two. It advances shared goals to develop clean, reliable and, affordable energy; facilitate the development of resilient regional infrastructure; and create high-quality jobs throughout the supply chain.
The Canada-Nova Scotia Offshore Energy Regulator launched the overall process for the first call for bids to license offshore wind energy in Nova Scotia on October 16. The call for bids is expected in the next few months.
