And I think all of these projects and developments will look a little bit different going forward,” he said. “But there is clearly a moment of reassessment happening. “It probably should have been anticipated, but I'm not going to spread around too much blame for that. “I think you can go back and forth a little bit on whether they should have planned for some things like inflation that had been a non-issue for so long,” Carlson said. Connecticut does not work directly with CERES, though Massachusetts does. John Carlson is the senior manager of state policy at CERES, a Boston-based nonprofit that works with investors, companies, capital markets and others to promote sustainable policy solutions. Part of DEEP’s explanation at the time was its desire to wait a few years until prices fell, which was already happening. The department still faced criticism for only tackling one project from the new authorization. In December of 2019, DEEP approved the 804-megawatt Park City Wind, which was to include a massive redevelopment at the port of Bridgeport, hence the project’s name. And that remains the only mandate in place. It took another year after Revolution was announced for the Connecticut legislature to approve an authorization of up to 2,000 megawatts by 2030, not including Revolution. New Jersey had already mandated 3,500 megawatts of development by 2030 and, in addition to its own mandate, Massachusetts had rehabbed a port to handle offshore wind components and opened a turbine-testing facility. Revolution Wind, at the time it was approved, however, was not enough to satisfy environmental advocates and others because the state still hadn’t done what its neighbors, Massachusetts, New York and New Jersey, had already done, which was to authorize large amounts of offshore wind to be developed. It is the first of two heavy-lift platforms that will be at State Pier. Beginning in a few weeks, offshore wind turbine components will be delivered there and prepared for shipment to offshore wind lease areas for construction, starting with South Fork Wind. It is a heavy-lift platform capable of handling loads of 5,000 pounds per square foot. The Northeast Bulkhead/Delivery Berth portion of State Pier in New London is now complete and usable for offshore wind construction work. It’s another Eversource/Ørsted project that will provide power to New York from the waters between Block Island and Martha’s Vineyard. One portion is complete, and in just a few weeks, turbine components will be delivered then assembled and shipped out for construction at a lease area called South Fork Wind. The port authority running the State Pier has been mired in political, financial and ethical upheaval, but its redevelopment for offshore wind is moving along. Revolution is being developed by Eversource and Ørsted from hubs at the State Pier in New London and ProvPort in Rhode Island. Not huge, but the first grid-scale offshore wind power for each state. Another portion of Revolution will supply 400 megawatts to Rhode Island. Another 100 megawatts was added, and the project’s current total is a little over 300 megawatts. 1997-2019 Patents 5,991,739 6,801,228 Other patents pending Portions © IPDEV, Co.Connecticut was already late to the offshore wind game in June of 2018 when it approved its first project - just 200 megawatts of what is now called Revolution Wind.
