The 83C Round 4 Evaluation Team is notifying stakeholders that they are extending the Bid Selection Date and all subsequent solicitation schedule dates by an additional thirty days, as detailed below.  The additional time is needed in order to consider any impacts to this solicitation from the recently announced federal grant to New England states through the U.S. Department of Energy’s Grid Innovation Program (GIP) program for projects to invest in regional electric infrastructure to ready the onshore transmission system for offshore wind. The Evaluation Team also continues to coordinate the current Section 83C solicitation with the simultaneous solicitations ongoing in Connecticut and Rhode Island, pursuant to the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) executed between the states on October 3, 2023.
