Massachusetts and Rhode Island selected 2,878 MW of offshore wind project bids from the states’ coordinated solicitation, which would be the region’s largest offshore wind procurement.

BOEM has issued its final Record of Decision ROD approving Avangrid Renewables’ New England Wind project, marking a major milestone for the proposed offshore wind project.

The coordinated offshore wind procurements of Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island received a total of 5,454 MW in bids from four developers, falling short of the 6,000-MW solicitation cap.
