Unsolicited Right-of-Way (ROW) Grant Application for the Atlantic Wind Connection (AWC) Project

Atlantic Wind Connection (AWC) filed this application for a right-of-way (ROW) grant to a total of 300 Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) blocks. Seven OCS blocks were identified as potential offshore converter station hubs. The transmission corridor would encompass a 24 square mile area of the OCS blocks (or 1% of total area). When fully built, the project would comprise about 790 square miles of offshore transmission cable that would enable up to 7,000 MW of offshore wind turbine capacity to be integrated into the regional high-voltage grid.
