Massachusetts electricity distribution companies and the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources have issued a request for proposal for up to 800MW of new offshore wind capacity off the US state.
The RFP, which is seeking projects of 200MW to 800MW in size, is the second solicitation issued for Massachusetts.
It is part of a staggered procurement schedule to bring about 1.6GW of offshore capacity online by 30 June 2027.
Interested parties have until midday local time on 9 August to submit confidential proposals or the same time on 16 August to submit public proposals.
Successful projects will be revealed on 8 November, with 13 December the date for the execution and negotiation of long-term contracts.
In the US state's first offshore wind RFP in May 2018, the 800MW Vineyard Wind project was successful.
