    The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) has decided that there is competitive interest in leasing areas for wind energy development in the Gulf of Mexico, following a request for competitive interest published earlier in 2024. Hecate Energy Gulf Wind LLC initially expressed interest in leasing the areas, and Invenergy GOM Offshore Wind LLC also submitted an interest. Both companies have been found to be qualified for holding a lease, and BOEM plans to proceed with a competitive lease sale process in the Gulf, potentially starting in 2026. This decision comes after BOEM reviewed proposals and comments regarding the suitability of the specified areas for wind energy projects.
