Ocean Winds, a joint venture of EDP Renewables and Engie, has partnered with Canada Pension Plan Investment Board to develop a 2 GW floating offshore project in California. The project can generate enough energy to power the equivalent of 90000 homes.
The 2GW is a significant milestone for the presence of Ocean Winds in the United States, where the company has about 4GW under development through two projects in the Northeast.
CEO of Ocean Winds, Bautista Rodriguez, said: “Ocean Winds is very proud to have been awarded a new project during this first floating offshore wind auction in the U.S.” He further emphasized that Ocean Winds is committed to bringing the country and California closer to meeting their clean energy goals while building a new domestic industry, creating jobs, and boosting the local economy.”
