The Section 10/404 milestones are dependent on BOEM’s EIS action milestones. A shift of BOEM’s EIS action milestones by 417 days results in a commensurate shift to the Section 10/404 action milestones. Therefore, an extension of the Section 10/404 milestones is requested based upon the extension of BOEM’s COP and EIS milestones.

Description:
Skipjack Offshore Energy, LLC (SJOE) intends to develop, build, operate, and own (through one or more affiliated special purpose entities) an offshore wind farm located approximately 15 miles off the coast of Delaware within Lease Areas OCS A0519 and OCS A0482. The purpose of the Project is to construct and operate a new offshore wind farm designed to help one or more states within the mid-Atlantic region meet their clean energy goals. The Project would consist of up to 72 wind turbine generators (“WTG”), associated inter-array cabling, new onshore and offshore substations, transmission cables and onshore works for connection to the wholesale electric grid administered by PJM Interconnection L.L.C.
The Executive Director granted a Bureau of Ocean Energy Management request to extend completion dates for all actions on March 24, 2025. The Executive Director determination is posted here.
