Statoil Wins Lease To Build Offshore Windfarm On The East Coast [1]

"Norwegian company Statoil will lease from the U.S. government nearly 80,000 acres off the coast of New York for an offshore wind farm, the company announced in a news release on Friday.

Statoil secured the lease by submitting the top bid of more than $43 million during an auction for the U.S. Department of the Interior’s Ocean Energy Management."
