The first offshore wind auction in Southeast U.S. waters netted the federal government $315 million - far from the boggling $4.4 billion sums paid by developers for New York Bight leases, but is still viewed as a big escalation by wind developers. The May lease sale conducted by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management went through 17 rounds of bidding, with Southeast-based Duke Energy Renewables Wind LLC and the French conglomerate TotalEnergies SE the winners. BOEM's 2017 lease sale, 122,000 acres north of Cape Hatteras, N.C., received a high bid of over $9 million from Avangrid Renewables LLC for the Kitty Hawk Offshore wind project. |
