The Rhode Island Energy Evaluation Team is notifying stakeholders that they are extending the Conditional Selection Date and all subsequent solicitation schedule dates by an additional thirty days, which is shown in the latest revised RFPs on the Documents Section of our website, as well as under the 2023 RI OSW RFP Schedule Section of our website. 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 Rhode Island Energy Evaluation Team also continues to coordinate the current solicitation with the simultaneous solicitations ongoing in Massachusetts and Connecticut, pursuant to the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) executed between the states on October 3, 2023.
