The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management today announced that it is seeking indications of competitive interest by Friday, July 19 in providing commercial renewable energy transmission in federal waters off New York and New Jersey, as well as public input regarding the New York and New Jersey Ocean Grid proposal submitted by Anbaric Development Partners, LLC.
The Ocean Grid proposal would involve the construction, installation, and operation of an offshore transmission system featuring ~185 nautical miles of submarine cable in federal waters and ~118 nautical miles of submarine cable on state submerged lands to deliver offshore wind energy to the onshore electric grid, as well as the siting of several offshore collector platforms that would be connected to high voltage submarine cables to onshore points of interconnection and capable of handling 800-1,200 megawatts each.
