US Department of the Interior Press Release February 22, 2023: Interior Department Proposes First-Ever Offshore Wind Sale in Gulf of Mexico
Yes, ESC closely follows renewable, unconventional and clean energy topics. In this case, we are interested in seeing whether or not the DOI proceeds with a proposed wind lease sale in the Gulf of Mexico. After years of watching oil and gas lease sales in the gulf, we are anxious to see how a wind lease sale process compares to the oil and gas sale process. It will also be interesting to see the level of interest in GOM wind farming, as well as the level of participation in a sale.
