The project, a joint venture of Shell New Energies and EDPR Offshore North America, will be located 20 miles south of Nantucket and is anticipated to begin commercial operations in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>The two developers had submitted four proposed projects for consideration. The selection follows a request for proposal, which evaluated bids based on economic benefits for ratepayers, the project\u2019s ability to foster employment and economic development in the commonwealth, as well as its environmental impacts. Specifically, the project will have long-term prices below the original price cap of $84.23\/MWh, will provide $3.7 billion in electricity rate reduction over the term of the contract, will create up to 10,000 jobs in Massachusetts in offshore and onshore opportunities and will translate in the elimination of 1.7 million metric tons of carbon dioxide annually, the equivalent of taking 350,000 cars of the road.<\/p>\n<p>Mayflower Wind\u2019s final contract with the state\u2019s distribution utilities is expected to be finalized in December. The procurement is expected to fulfill the second half of the Legislature\u2019s 2016 authorization of 1,600 megawatts of wind power. Vineyard Wind\u2014which has already been selected for the state\u2019s first 800MW procurement\u2014and Bay State Wind, also submitted proposals for the second round of procurement.<\/p>\n<p>Should both Vineyard Wind I and Mayflower Wind be completed as planned, they will provide approximately 12 percent of Massachusetts&#8217; total annual&nbsp;energy demand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mayflower Wind\u2019s final contract with the state\u2019s distribution utilities is expected to be finalized in December.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":237,"featured_media":1004300789,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1490,21748,21742,10,21786],"tags":[41501,42605,41015],"class_list":["post-1004364968","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-boston","category-industrial","category-latest","category-northeast","category-sustainability","tag-edp-renewables","tag-offshore-wind-power","tag-shell-energy-north-america"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) -
