Three companies, including two from Denmark and one based in New England, are preparing to bid on offshore wind supply contracts for Massachusetts utilities that were mandated by the state.
Last year the state’s legislature directed Eversource, National Grid, and Unitil, to acquire 1,600 MW of offshore wind by 2027, with the first 400 MW solicitation due by the end of June.
According to the Associated Press, three companies will be bidding on the contracts: Deepwater Wind, which recently began operating the Block Island wind farm offshore Rhode Island, and DONG Energy and Vineyard Wind, both based out of Denmark.
