DOER and the Distribution Companies have made a joint Informational Filing at the DPU to notify the Department that they are extending the Bid Submission Date and subsequent solicitation schedule dates for the 83C Round IV solicitation. Bids are now due on March 27, 2024 at 12:00pm. Pursuant to an memorandum of agreement between Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island and consistent with similar schedule extensions in each respective offshore wind RFP schedule, the schedule for the receipt of Multi-State Bids is extended as well. This extension is intended to allow for the possibility of further guidance from the IRS regarding key tax credits that are available to offshore wind projects, including the Energy Communities 10 percent bonus.
