Governor Dannel P. Malloy and Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) Commissioner Robert Klee have announced that Connecticut has selected a 200MW offshore wind project as part of DEEP’s recent Clean Energy Request for Proposals.
The project selected is the 200MW (824,830 MWh) offshore wind from the Revolution Wind Project (Deepwater Wind). This will be incremental to the 400MW from the same project selected by Rhode Island. The selected project will now enter negotiations with the electric distribution utilities to reach agreement on 20 year contracts. If successful, the contract will be brought to PURA for final approval.
