RWE Renewables and National Grid have signed a partnership agreement to jointly develop offshore wind projects in the coastal region of the Northeast US. This includes an intention to jointly bid in the upcoming New York Bight seabed lease auction.

“Our partnership with National Grid represents an exciting milestone for RWE to further grow our renewable energy business in the US,” said Sven Utermöhlen, COO Wind Offshore Global of RWE Renewables. “While we are an established presence in the US with our onshore wind, solar and storage activities, this partnership will support RWE’s plans to realise a sizeable position in the offshore wind space.”

RWE is expected to bring its expertise in offshore wind and National Grid local knowledge and its experience developing large-scale infrastructure projects, including industry-leading subsea cable capabilities from its portfolio of interconnectors that facilitate the transfer of renewable energy between the UK and Europe.
