- Abstract:
-
On January 29, 2015, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) held a competitive lease sale (i.e., auction) for the Wind Energy Area offshore Massachusetts. The Wind Energy Area was auctioned as four leases (OCS-A 0500, OCS-A 0501, OCS-A 0502, OCS-A 0503). The auction consisted of two rounds before determining RES America Developments Inc. and Offshore MW LLC as the provisional winners of Lease Area OCS-A 0500 (187,523 acres) and OCS-A 0501 (166,886 acres), respectively. Winning bids totaled $448,171 in high bids. The total acreage of these two areas nearly doubles the amount of acreage leased for wind energy through competitive sales.
