August 26, 2019 — Vineyard Wind is bidding for another wind farm.
The company submitted a bid Friday for Massachusetts’ second solicitation for commercial offshore wind. Bay State Wind announced a bid earlier in the day.
Both companies made the announcements on their own initiative; the state plans to keep the names of bidders confidential until at least Aug. 30.
Vineyard Wind said it has proposed the required 400-megawatt option, plus two options for an 800-megawatt project.
“Vineyard Wind is very excited to submit these proposals, which offer significant job creation and port infrastructure investment opportunity for the region, while ensuring an attractive, fixed price for electric ratepayers,” Vineyard Wind CEO Lars Pedersen said in a news release. “We look forward to announcing additional details on this exciting project in the weeks ahead.”
