Biden Administration Halts Planned Oregon Offshore Wind Lease Auction
The Biden administration has decided to postpone a planned auction of offshore wind development rights off the coast of Oregon, which was set for the next month. The decision came from the U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, a part of the Interior Department, citing a lack of interest from the industry.
The Biden administration on Friday announced it would postpone a scheduled auction of offshore wind development rights off the coast of Oregon, set for next month.
The decision was made by the U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, a division of the Interior Department, due to insufficient interest from industry stakeholders.
Officials indicated that the postponement aims to reassess the sector's readiness for such developments in the region.
