Hope for Offshore Wind Boom in Gulf of Mexico Dims With Low Bids

The first-ever US government auction of leases to build wind farms in the Gulf of Mexico ended with only one tract sold, a blow for advocates cheering on renewable-power development in the region.
RWE Offshore US Gulf LLC won a 102,480-acre (41,472-hectare) tract near Lake Charles, Louisiana, for $5.6 million, after just two rounds of bidding. The area has room for enough turbines to generate approximately 1.24 gigawatts of power, which could supply nearly 435,400 homes.
Three tracts, including two near Texas, were offered in the auction, and more than a dozen companies had pre-qualified to participate, including energy giants with existing oil operations in the Gulf.
