Federal Scrutiny Update
The U.S. Department of the Interior is scrutinizing several previously permitted offshore wind projects. Most recently, Interior has requested that federal courts allow them to remand—or reexamine—permitting decisions for three projects: Revolution Wind, Maryland Offshore Wind, and New England Wind. Projects under scrutiny are displayed with an orange circle (see left). Click on a project to learn more.
The U.S. Department of the Interior has signed agreements with several offshore renewable energy leaseholders to terminate their leases in exchange for payment. These include:
- TotalEnergies (OCS-A 0545 and OCS-A 0538) - $978 million
- Bluepoint Wind (OCS-A 0537) - $765 million
- Golden State Wind (OCS-P 0564) - $120 million
- Invenergy (OSC-A 0542, OCS-A 0562, OCS-A 0567, and OSC-P 0565) - $765 million
- Duke Energy (OCS-A 0546) - $129 million
- RWE (OCS-A 0539, OCS-G 37334, and OCS-P 0561) - $1.22 billion
As a result, TotalEnergies, Bluepoint, Golden State, Invenergy, Duke Energy, and RWE will no longer develop offshore wind projects in these lease areas, and their lease areas have been marked "Withdrawn."
