The U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) has delayed the wind energy auction for two lease areas offshore Oregon, it said Sept. 27.
The postponement was announced after BOEM said it received bidding interest from only one of the five companies that qualified to participate in the Oct. 15 lease auction.
“In determining a future opportunity for a potential lease sale, BOEM will continue to collaborate with representatives from federal, state and local agencies and Tribal governments, to coordinate on potential leasing and support ongoing stakeholder engagement processes on broader offshore wind considerations, such as the state-led development of a strategic roadmap for offshore wind,” BOEM said in a news release.
