New bill sets the stage for offshore wind projects in Delaware. Here’s what to know
Delaware’s process of obtaining offshore wind power is one step closer to being ratified, reports Molly McVety.
“Senate Bill 265, which lays out the various checks and balances that an offshore wind project would have to go through to get approved, was presented to the Senate’s Environment, Energy & Transportation Committee on Wednesday, April 24,’’ Molly reports.
“The 19-page bill outlines the various state departments that would be tasked with negotiating and approving an offshore wind project off of Delaware’s shores or obtaining energy from a project off the shores of other states.’’
Molly breaks down what the bill means not just for wind projects but potentially other energy-related initiatives in the First State.
