New York Bight feeding frenzy could whet big players' appetite for Atlantic floating wind: Aegir

The record-setting $4.4bn lease auction for the New York Bight could have the knock-on effect of opening the deep waters of the Central Atlantic to commercially-viable floating wind development, an industry analyst claims

According to Aegir Insights, the level of interest in the New York Bight round – which attracted 14 bidders – and the number of big players such as Orsted, Avangrid and Equinor that walked away empty handed could set the stage for a big floating play in the Northeast US.
