At the offshore wind auction held by the U.S. Department of Interior’s Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) on November 9, 2015, RES Americas Developments Inc. secured the rights to develop one of the two leases that were awarded.
The lease comprises an area that could potentially accommodate more than 1000MW of offshore wind. Following approval from BOEM, the lease will be taken over by DONG Energy. RES Americas will continue to support development of the lease area as agreed with DONG Energy. The New Jersey lease is the second U.S. lease area for DONG Energy.
