The U.S. offshore wind business has gone through a particularly tough stretch over the past few months. In late August, consortiums that were developing two significant wind farms off Massachusetts deemed it more financially prudent to pay a combined $108 million in termination penalties rather than try to make their respective projects work under current cost structures, while the leading East Coast developer warns it could be forced to do the same. In yet another blow, the widely anticipated Gulf of Mexico wind lease sale fizzled with only a single bid awarded. |
