The New England states united to seek federal funding to strengthen the region’s transmission to accommodate power from offshore wind projects and Canada.

The U.S. will require a massive mobilization of resources and careful planning to build the transmission needed to the meet its OSW goals, a new report says.

Two major offshore wind power developers are warning again of economic problems with projects off the New York and New England coasts.

The U.S. Department of the Interior announced that Elizabeth Klein has been named director of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management.

New Jersey’s far-reaching OSW plans face challenges as the first project undergoes permit scrutiny and the state launches a third coastal wind solicitation.

New Jersey has extended by two weeks the comment period on the plan to hold its third — and largest — offshore wind solicitation in early 2023.

Avangrid has moved to terminate power purchase agreements for Commonwealth Wind, a 1.2-GW offshore wind project it is developing in Massachusetts.

Developers bid a total $757 million, or $2,039/acre, for five leases in two wind energy areas off California in the first West Coast offshore wind auction.

The West Coast’s first offshore wind auction got off to a cautious start, with bids closing at levels far lower than two recent East Coast auctions.

New Jersey is seeking projects totaling 1.2 to 4 GW — and potentially larger — in the state’s third offshore wind project solicitation planned for early 2023.
