The auction will commence at 10:30 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time today. It will offer almost 112,800 acres offshore Virginia for a commercial wind energy lease.
If a provisional winner has been identified prior to end of day, an announcement will be made as soon as possible. If a winner has not been identified, the auction will continue the following day.
