ANNAPOLIS, Maryland – Ørsted has submitted a bid to the Maryland Public Service Commission to develop Skipjack Wind 2, a proposed project of up to 760 MW.
The bid is in response to the commission’s call for proposals for Round 2 offshore wind projects, through which it can award at least 1,200 MW of offshore wind renewable energy credits.
The new project is expected to power more than 250,000 Delmarva homes, according to the company.
Ørsted is currently developing Skipjack Wind 1, a 120-MW project off the Maryland-Delaware coast that is scheduled to be operational by 2Q 2026. The project was awarded during Maryland’s first offshore wind solicitation, commonly referred to as Round 1, in May 2017.
