The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management on Tuesday auctioned off leases for proposed wind farms off the coast of Galveston, but not a single bid was submitted.

Three leases were made available for auction by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) — one in Lake Charles, Louisiana, and two in Galveston. The only lease to receive any bids was for the location off the coast of Lake Charles.

The energy company RWE Offshore U.S. Gulf was one of two companies to bid on the Lake Charles lease. RWE won with a bid of $5.6 million.

Two leases were also available off the coast of Galveston, with one listed as 102,480 acres and the other as 96,786 acres, but neither location received any bids.

Each of the three leases’ initial listing prices began at over $4.8 million. The Department of the Interior has previously claimed the areas “have the potential to generate approximately 3.7 GW and power almost 1.3 million homes with clean, renewable energy,” as previously reported by The Dallas Express.

While some may be surprised by the complete lack of bidders, lawmakers in Texas have vocalized their disapproval of the proposed plans.

Sen. Drew Springer (R-Muenster) previously tweeted, “Biden may want to put them in Federal waters but remember the cables have to come through Texas controlled waters,” as reported by The Dallas Express.

Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham has also stated her disapproval of the plan in an opinion piece for The Daily Caller, alleging that President Biden is “blatantly ignoring federal law.”

Companies considering bidding on the land may have also been concerned about future legislation that would limit the wind farm’s potential.

The most recent legislative session passed Senate Bill 2627, which incentivizes the construction of gas-fueled power plants.

SB 2627 provides loans with a 3% interest rate for the construction and development of gas-fueled plants, while also paying bonuses for connecting the plants to the main power grid by June 2029, according to The Texas Tribune.

Becky Diffen, a project finance partner with law firm Norton Rose Fulbright, said legislation that incentivizes cheaper power may be a reason for the lack of bids.

“Maybe you have the normal worries that any developer has building renewables in Texas right now, with who knows what the Legislature will do in two more years,” she said, per The Texas Tribune. “But then you have cheap power that you are competing against.”

These auctions are meant to help move forward the Biden administration’s goal of 30 gigawatts of offshore energy and a carbon-free electricity sector by 2035, as previously reported by The Dallas Express.

The BOEM will have the option to put the leases up for auction again in the future.
