March 5, 2020 — The possibility of a wind farm off the Carolina outer banks is closer to being a reality as the company behind the first leased tract has taken a big step forward.
Three years after submitting the winning bid for what’s known as the Kitty Hawk tract off the coast, Avangrid is ready for the next round of paperwork.
Company spokesman Paul Copleman confirmed the news, calling it a great step that “enables us to move forward with the next round of data gathering and resources assessment, including deploying a buoy to gather meteorological and ocean data.”
