As part of the offshore wind Call for Information, the CNSOER invited feedback from Indigenous groups and rights holders, the fishing sector, industry, government, the public, and other stakeholders on the Wind Energy Areas being considered and the location(s) of potential parcel(s) within the WEAs, the possible evaluation criteria to be used as part of the Call for Bids process, and the possible draft terms and conditions for a submerged land licence.

Through the offshore wind pre-qualification process, CNSOER will review and identify eligible companies that can participate in the offshore wind Call for Bids. Only companies that are pre-qualified by the CNSOER will be eligible to bid.
