On July 20, the US government announced the first offshore wind power development deal in the Gulf of Mexico to continue promoting renewable energy development in the country.

The US Department of the Interior said the auction will take place on August 29. Previously, in February 2023, the US government proposed expanding offshore wind energy development in this sea area.
“By leveraging the Gulf of Mexico’s offshore wind energy potential, we can tackle the climate crisis, lower energy costs for families, and create good-paying jobs,” said US Interior Secretary Deb Haaland.
The White House said the wind concessions include a 100,000-acre parcel off the coast of Lake Charles, Louisiana, and two more totaling nearly 200,000 acres off the coast of Galveston, Texas. The Interior Department estimates that the concessions have the potential to generate about 3.7 gigawatts of clean energy, enough to power nearly 1.3 million homes.
Previously, the US government also held three auctions for wind power exploitation in other seas, including the largest auction ever in the country last year for exploitation areas off the coast of New York and New Jersey (Atlantic Ocean), attracting a record bid of 1.5 billion USD.
