AU - Tetra Tech Inc.
AB - Kitty Hawk Wind, LLC (the Company), a wholly owned subsidiary of Avangrid Renewables, LLC, proposes to construct, own, and operate the Kitty Hawk North Wind Project (hereafter referred to as the Project). The Commercial Lease of Submerged Lands for Renewable Energy Development on the Outer Continental Shelf of Lease Area OCS-A 0508 (the Lease) was awarded to Avangrid Renewables, LLC through the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) competitive renewable energy lease auction of the Wind Energy Area offshore of North Carolina. The Lease was effective on 01 Nov 2017. The Project will be located in the designated Renewable Energy Lease Area OCS-A 0508 (Lease Area). The Lease Area covers 49,536 hectares (ha) and is located approximately 44 kilometers (km) offshore of Corolla, North Carolina. At this time, the Company proposes to develop approximately 40 percent of the Lease Area, an area located in the northwest corner closest to shore (19,441 ha, referred to as the Wind Development Area). Infrastructure in the Wind Development Area will include wind turbine generators (WTGs), inter-array cables, and an electrical service platform (ESP). The Project will connect from the ESP through offshore export cables (within a designated corridor) and onshore export cables to the new onshore substation and switching station in Virginia Beach, Virginia, where the renewable electricity generated will be transmitted to the electric grid.
