The Canadian province of Nova Scotia and the US state of Massachusetts have inked a memorandum of understanding that could see Nova Scotia provide offshore wind power to Massachusetts in the coming years.
The agreement comes as the Canadian province hopes to launch its first seabed lease auction later this year.
Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston said during a visit to Boston: “We’re on the verge of our first call for bids to license the first offshore wind projects in Canada, and we’re advancing Wind West to build the transmission infrastructure to send that clean energy to markets.”
