An Act relative to offshore wind procurement

This bill amends Massachusetts state law to increase the maximum number of offshore wind projects allowed in the state from 1,600 megawatts to 6,000 megawatts. It also shortens the deadline for completing these projects, moving the target date from December 31, 2035, to December 31, 2030. These changes directly affect the state's energy planning and the developers or entities responsible for building offshore wind farms. The legislation aims to accelerate the state's renewable energy goals by allowing for a larger and faster expansion of wind power capacity.
