Ørsted was previously awarded rights for Skipjack Wind 1, which will be in the same area as Skipjack Wind 1. The location is about 19 miles off the coast from Fenwick Island. The bid is in response to the commission’s call for proposals for Round 2 offshore wind projects. The commission can award at least 1,200 megawatts of Offshore Wind Renewable Energy Credits. Skipjack 2 would power a quarter of a million homes The new project will power more than 250,000 Delmarva homes, the equivalent of more than half of all residences in Delaware. Skipjack would help meet Maryland’s 50% renewable energy mandate, although the company notes that both projects will benefit Delaware. Delaware has a less stringent 40% mandate and with its small landmass will require out-of-state wind power.
