State to seek bids to build, operate off-shore wind farm

Governor Carcieri will announce tomorrow that the state is seeking bids from companies to build and run an off-shore wind farm designed to generate renewable energy.

The private companies will bid, in the state’s request for proposals, to build a wind farm designed to generate 1.3 million megawatt-hours per year of renewable energy.

The governor’s announcement is slated for 1 p.m. in the State House’s State Room in Providence.
