Rhode Island
The Rhode Island General Assembly has enacted the Rhode Island Renewable Energy Standard and Governor Carcieri has proposed his vision for Rhode Island to obtain 15% of its electricity from wind sources located within the state. Together, these policies put Rhode Island at the forefront in adopting renewable energy programs, thereby helping to protect Rhode Island – and our planet — from climate change and damaging sea level rise. NRG Bluewater Wind commends the General Assembly and the Governor for these important initiatives. We look forward to working with them to ensure that these policies are fully implemented.
To that end, NRG Bluewater Wind has begun to meet with stakeholders to share our thoughts on Rhode Island’s renewable energy future and to hear from stakeholders about their thoughts and concerns. We are working to identify an offshore wind park site that meets Rhode Island’s need for clean, stable priced electricity while also enhancing Rhode Island’s economy, and protecting the state’s natural environment and landscape. Please visit this webpage for updates on our efforts to develop an offshore wind park for Rhode Island.
