The utility scale power project, called Nomans Wind, will be located about 20 nautical miles south of the states’ coastlines.
In a statement on its website, the company said it will submit a nomination for Nomans Wind's proposed lease area by the 3 October 2011 deadline established by the US Department of Interior's Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement.
Neptune Wind will install next generation offshore turbines designed for the strong wind regime in this area.
Earlier this year, the company submitted a nomination for a project in federal waters off the coast of New Jersey, US.
It has also expressed interest in other potential lease areas south and southwest of Nantucket Island, Massachusetts.
