Overview
We supported a developer in the lead-up to the California lease auction, conducted by the US Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM). We delivered a suite of bespoke tools and in-person auction strategy support. An auction theory expert familiar with our offshore wind expertise recommend BVGA.
We delivered a customised auction simulation environment, bid tracking software, and strategic war-room briefing for the client’s team. This enabled realistic rehearsal and scenario planning, tailored to the dynamics of the auction. During the live auction, we worked on-site in the client’s US headquarters. We helped them refine strategies and make decisions as the auction unfolded.
