Wind Mills (Renee Schiavone/Patch)RHODE ISLAND — Rhode Island Energy has released a request for proposals for new offshore wind energy, providing up to 1,000 megawatts of clean energy for state residents, Gov. Dan McKee said Friday.The announcement comes after McKee, in July, signed clean energy legislation into law that seeks to expand the Ocean State's offshore wind energy resources. The new law requires a market-competitive procurement for between 600 and 1,000 megawatts of newly developed offshore wind capacity.
