AI Contract Overview

Under grant agreement OSW-25-003, the California Energy Commission is providing a 750,000 dollar grant to the City of Richmond for the Port of Richmond Offshore Wind Terminal Conceptual Design and Preliminary Engineering project. The primary objective is to plan and design terminals at the Port of Richmond to support offshore wind supply chain operations, aligning with the AB 525 Offshore Wind Strategic Plan to expand port facilities for the growth of the industry. The scope of work includes identifying site boundaries for industry use, determining necessary infrastructure improvements, and advancing the design of selected sites to a 30 percent engineering stage. The project focuses on up to 216 acres of existing sites, specifically Terminal 1, Terminal 2, Terminal 3, and the Point Potrero Marine Terminal, leveraging their deep-water navigation channels and strategic location within the San Francisco Bay. Activities consist of data collection, research, and resource evaluation. Due to the nature of these feasibility and planning studies, the project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act under sections 15306 and 15262. This initiative is intended to benefit the state of California, taxpayers, offshore wind developers, supply chain companies, and the citizens of Richmond.

Full Description

Under grant agreement OSW-25-003, the California Energy Commission (CEC) will provide a grant of $750,000 to the City of Richmond. The grant agreement funds the planning and design of terminal(s) at the Port of Richmond to support offshore wind (OSW) supply chain operations. The project will focus on identifying site boundaries within the Port for OSW industry use, determining required infrastructure improvements, and advancing the site(s) to up to a 30% engineering design stage. The conceptual design and preliminary engineering project will identify, evaluate, and design purpose-built OSW infrastructure across up to 216 acres of existing sites, including Terminal 1, Terminal 2, Terminal 3, and the Point Potrero Marine Terminal. These sites offer extensive berth availability, access to deep-water navigation channels, and a strategic location within the San Francisco Bay, close to the five current California offshore wind lease areas. This project will benefit the State of California, as the planning of port improvements advances policy goals regarding growth of the OSW power industry. These policy goals are described in the AB 525 Offshore Wind Strategic Plan,and include the expansion of port facilities to support OSW development. This Strategic Plan resulted from Assembly Bill 525 (Chiu, Chapter 231, Statutes of 2021), which directed the CEC to complete a strategic plan for offshore wind development in federal waters off the California coast. Beneficiaries will also include, but are not limited to, taxpayers who will benefit from OSW clean energy, the OSW developers who may in the future use the Port of Richmond, OSW supply chain-supporting companies who may use the Port of Richmond, and the citizens of the City of Richmond.
