Ørsted bids for 760 MW Offshore wind farm in USA
Ørsted has submitted a bid to the Maryland Public Service Commission to develop Skipjack Wind 2, a proposed project of up to 760 MW. The bid is in response to the Commission’s call for proposals for Round 2 offshore wind projects, through which the Commission can award at least 1,200 MW of offshore wind renewable energy certificates (OREC).
Ørsted’s proposal is designed to support the successful development of Skipjack Wind 2, while also committing to significant manufacturing operations that will enable the State to establish itself as a significant player in the offshore wind supply chain.
The company is currently developing the Skipjack Wind Farm 1, a 120 MW project off the Maryland-Delaware coast that is scheduled to be operational by the second quarter of 2026. The company was awarded during Maryland’s first offshore wind solicitation, commonly referred to as Round 1, in May 2017.
Skipjack Wind Farm 1 will create approximately 1,400 Maryland jobs, spur at least US$200 million in Maryland economic investment, and generate enough clean energy to power 35,000 homes in the region.
