Ted Boling Quoted in Bloomberg Law—Atlantic Transmission Bottlenecks Threaten Offshore Wind Growth

Partner Ted Boling was quoted in "Atlantic Transmission Bottlenecks Threaten Offshore Wind Growth," an article in Bloomberg Law, regarding the race for plug-in offshore projects.

The Interior Department early next year will lease up to 800,000 acres in the New York Bight, "the starting gun for a lot of activity, including a lot of transmission planning," said Ted Boling, a partner at Perkins Coie who served as the top lawyer for the White House Council of Environmental Quality in the Trump administration.

"There's clearly a significant cost to do anything offshore, and particularly to develop a backbone transmission line," Ted said. "That's not going to happen until the costs are all figured out."
