Wind Power Project Decision Postponed (offshore, Delaware)

DOVER, Del. — State officials on Tuesday declined to pull the plug on negotiations to determine whether the nation's first offshore wind farm should be built off the coast of Delaware.

Officials agreed with Public Service Commission staffers that Delmarva Power and Bluewater Wind LLC should be given until Dec. 10 to come up with a power purchase agreement, which state officials would consider at a Dec. 18 meeting.

Delmarva Power is a subsidiary of Pepco Holdings Inc.

Officials also said Widener University law professor Lawrence Hamermesh, who has served as a mediator in the negotiations, will take a more authoritative role and arbitrate differences between the two parties.
