| 摘要： | A much-promoted first lease sale for Gulf of Mexico offshore wind got just one winning bid of $5.6 million for 102,480 acres south of Lake Charles, La., while lease offerings east of Galveston, Texas, had no bids, the federal Bureau of Ocean Energy Management said in August. The bidding opened with $5.1 million for the Lake Charles offshore lease and got two offers. On the second round only RWE Offshore US Gulf LLC persisted and won with its second bid for $5.6 million. It was a stark contrast to the frenetic bidding in February 2022 for New York Bight wind leases, when Bight Wind Holdings took the most-sought prize, a nearly 126,000-acre tract 50 miles east of Barnegat Light, N.J., for $1.1 billion, beating up to five competitors in the process. BOEM lease offerings in Northeast and Mid-Atlantic waters are attractive to wind developers for being close to the East Coast megalopolis cluster of cities and suburbs. Wind power boosters look to the Gulf of Mexico for opportunities to supply the region's energy-thirsty needs for petrochemical processing and producing hydrogen as a new fuel for industry and shipping. |
