Danish developer Ørsted and New England energy firm Eversource have submitted a proposal to build Connecticut’s first offshore wind farm, the 200-megawatt Constitution Wind project.
The Bay State Wind joint venture had submitted a bid to build the first offshore wind farm in Connecticut in response to the state’s request for offshore wind energy proposals. Their proposed Constitution Wind would be a 200-megawatt project built approximately 65 miles off the coast of New London, within the same lease area that they will be building the 800-megwatt Bay State Wind offshore wind farm.
Constitution Wind would generate enough electricity to provide 100,000 local homes with clean electricity and would deliver millions in savings across the state.
