US Plans Next Gulf of Mexico Offshore Wind Auction for 2026 as Two Companies Express Interest in Same Areas

Hecate Energy has proposed a 2 GW fixed-bottom offshore wind project that would consist of up to 133 wind turbines, each with a capacity of 15-23 MW. The company has identified three points of interconnection within Texas and Louisiana and is examining twelve potential landfall locations with paths to three designated substations. Export cables would run separately from each of the two lease areas, or the lease areas would be joined offshore with one substation and one central export cable.
