Deepwater Wind Plans Two Northeast Offshore Networks

摘要

Rhode Island wind developer Deep-water Wind plans to develop two, $1-billion offshore underwater transmission networks for moving up to 2,000 MW of offshore wind energy to southern New England and New York. "A merchant transmission network would reduce the cost of servicing the wind farm by providing multiple points of interconnection," says Bill Moore, CEO of Deepwater Wind, Providence, R.I. "By combining a utility-scale offshore wind farm with a regional transmission network, we can deliver firm power to address the area's electricity demand."
