Mayflower Wind submits offshore wind bids in Massachusetts

By Michelle Froese | August 30, 2019

Mayflower Wind Energy LLC, a joint venture of Shell New Energies US and EDPR Offshore North America, has provided the public version of its bids into the Commonwealth of Massachusetts’ second round of the Section 83C offshore wind development procurement process.

Public versions of Mayflower Wind’s bids are available here.

Mayflower Wind submitted three 800-MW proposals and a 400-MW proposal to the Massachusetts electric utilities.

“We are very excited to submit these proposals to provide the utilities implementing the Commonwealth’s offshore wind policy with a range of options,” said John Hartnett, President of Mayflower Wind. “The Low Price Energy proposal includes strong support for research, workforce training, and economic development. Our Infrastructure and Innovation proposal adds significant strategic investments in port infrastructure and technology to the South Coast, boosting the fledgling offshore wind industry and the economy of the Commonwealth.”

Hartnett added: “Finally, our Massachusetts Manufacturing proposal would further accelerate the process of Massachusetts assuming a leadership role in offshore wind by including a major new manufacturing facility that would serve both domestic and foreign offshore wind markets.”

In the months since Mayflower Wind acquired a Federal offshore wind lease, it has engaged with the fishing industry, local communities, tribal representatives and local governments on the South Coast and Cape Cod, completed conceptual design of an entire offshore wind farm, filed for initial permits with the federal regulatory agency and begun the process of pre-construction surveys.

Mayflower Wind brings deep experience and skills of its parent companies, Shell and EDP Renewables, to Massachusetts. These include successfully developing, permitting, financing, constructing, and operating offshore and onshore wind projects and offshore production facilities.

Mayflower Wind draws on the experience of its parent companies who have the combined strength of more than 18,000 U.S. employees, a supply chain of more than 5,000 U.S. companies of which more than 800 are small businesses or women and minority-owned enterprises, $400 billion in market capitalization, experience operating 6,300 MW of onshore wind in the U.S. and ongoing development and construction of 2,700 MW of offshore wind projects in France, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Scotland that are anticipated to be operational between now and 2023.
