{ "currentVersion": 10.41, "id": 97, "name": "Gulf of Maine Request for Competitive Interest (RFCI) - August 2022", "type": "Feature Layer", "description": "BOEM published a Request for Competitive Interest (RFCI) for the Gulf of Maine in the Federal Register<\/a> on August 19, 2022. The RFCI is the next step in processing the State of Maine\u2019s application for a research lease and provides notice of the proposed research area that Maine requested. Maine\u2019s application requests 9,700 acres on the OCS in a location more than 20 nautical miles off the Maine coast. If developed, the Research Array would consist of up to 12 floating offshore wind turbines capable of generating up to 144 megawatts (MW) of renewable energy. The RFCI Area (68,320 acres) expands upon Maine\u2019s requested research lease area to allow future siting flexibility to avoid or minimize conflicts with existing ocean users should a lease (research or commercial) be issued. Only one project, approximately the size of Maine\u2019s research lease proposal (i.e., no more than 10,000 acres and no more than 12 floating turbines), will have the potential to move forward.\n

\nBOEM is issuing this RFCI because regulations require that BOEM identify whether or not there is competitive commercial interest in any area that is the subject of an unsolicited lease request. BOEM invites submission of indications of commercial interest, as well as comments from interested and affected parties.
