§1356c Wind lease sales for areas of the outer Continental Shelf offshore of territories of the United States

Summary

The Secretary must request information and nominations for planned wind lease sales in certain offshore areas. The first request must be issued by September 30, 2025. Wind lease sales can happen in U.S. waters next to Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands, or the Northern Mariana Islands only if three things are true: the Secretary finds the sale is feasible, finds there is enough interest in leasing, and has consulted the territory’s Governor about whether the area is suitable for wind energy.
