Connecticut chooses offshore wind future

Governor Dannel P. Malloy and Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) Commissioner Robert Klee announced that Connecticut has selected over 250MW of clean and renewable energy projects as part of DEEP’s recent Clean Energy Request for Proposals.

The projects include the state’s first procurement of offshore wind, which contributes 200MW of the renewable energy.

“We have an obligation to our children and grandchildren to invest in energy projects that reduce the impacts of harmful emissions,” said Governor Malloy. “That’s why Connecticut is making investments in the technologies of the future, not of the past. These projects will result in thousands of new Connecticut jobs, helping to grow our economy, while doing so in a clean and sustainable way.”

Connecticut’s authority under Public Act 17-144 for offshore wind is limited to 3% of the Connecticut Electric Distribution Companies’ total electric load, and Connecticut has selected that full amount.

“These awards provide great environmental benefits to our state, but equally important is the fact they will generate economic development activity for years to come,” noted Catherine Smith, commissioner of the Department of Economic and Community Development.

This selection is expected to lead to the creation of over 1,400 direct, indirect and induced jobs.

At least $15 million investment in the New London State Pier will allow aspects of the project to be constructed in New London spurring economic development during construction and attracting additional offshore wind projects to take advantage of the investments.

“Governor Malloy is setting the course for Connecticut’s clean energy future. We’re proud to partner with Connecticut to help the state achieve its bold renewable energy goals. Our Revolution Wind project will bring hundreds of new direct jobs to Connecticut and deliver affordable, homegrown energy to ratepayers,” said Jeffery Grybowski, CEO Deepwater Wind.
