Massachusetts Delays Offshore Wind Contract Finalization for Ocean Winds and Iberdrola Projects
WIND ENERGY
Massachusetts has postponed the finalization of offtake contracts for two offshore wind projects, Ocean Winds' 1287MW SouthCoast Wind and Iberdrola's 791MW New England Wind 1, due to uncertainties stemming from federal actions. The developers are now targeting a completion date for negotiations by June 30, 2026, with a filing deadline set for August 31. This delay follows a directive from President Trump to halt all offshore wind projects currently under construction in U.S. waters.
