The developers that were pre-qualified to bid in the Oregon offshore wind lease sale by the time the PSN was issued include Avangrid Renewables, BlueFloat Energy, OW North America Ventures , and Mainstream Renewable Power . Other names might join the list as the PSN also opened a 60-day window for further developers to pre-qualify.
BOEM will publish a final sale notice (FSN) at least 30 days before the lease sale, detailing the time and date of the lease sale and all qualified participants.
The Coos Bay Wind Energy Area offshore Oregon is located approximately 32 miles (approximately 55 kilometres) from shore and covers 61,203 acres (approx. 248 square kilometres).
