Gov. Ned Lamont announced Wednesday that Connecticut has signed an agreement with officials in Rhode Island and Massachusetts to collectively solicit new offshore wind project proposals in a multi-state approach designed to leverage buying power. State Department of Energy and Environmental Protection Commissioner Katie Dykes joined Lamont for the announcement of a first-of-its kind memorandum of understanding Wednesday during a news conference at State Pier in New London, which is being used for a staging and assembly hub for the South Fork Wind project under construction off the coast of Long Island. On Monday, Avangrid, developer of the 800-megawatt Park City Wind project, announced it was terminating a 2019 agreement with Connecticut utility companies to buy power because costs have become prohibitive.
