The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management recently announced a right-of-way grant to Deepwater Wind Block Island Transmission System, LLC for the Block Island Transmission System. Deepwater Wind's proposed project includes the installation of a submerged transmission cable between Block Island and the Rhode Island mainland. The transmission system would connect Deepwater Wind's proposed 30-megawatt Block Island Wind Farm to the Rhode Island mainland and transmit power from the existing onshore transmission grid on the mainland to Block Island. This decision marks the first right-of-way grant offered in federal waters for renewable energy transmission.
