BOEM gives Maryland Offshore Wind the go ahead

The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) yesterday announced its approval of the Construction and Operations Plan for US Wind’s Maryland Offshore Wind project. This is the final approval needed for the project from BOEM following the Department of the Interior’s September 2024 Record of Decision. This significant milestone advances the Biden administration’s goal of deploying 30 gigawatts of offshore wind energy capacity by 2030.

Maryland’s US Wind project passes a key regulatory milestone

The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) has released its final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for US Wind’s proposed Maryland offshore wind project, which includes three planned phases. Two of those phases, MarWin and Momentum Wind, have received offshore renewable energy certificates from the State of Maryland.

If approved, the project proposes to install up to 114 turbines, up to four offshore substation platforms, one meteorological tower, and up to four corridors for offshore...

Planned Oregon and Gulf of Maine auctions open new opportunities for floating offshore wind

The U.S. Department of the Interior has announced two proposals for offshore wind energy auctions off the coast of Oregon and in the Gulf of Maine. Proposed by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) the sales have the potential to generate more than 18 gigawatts of offshore wind energy, enough to power more than six million homes. They also underscore the need to develop floating offshore wind solutions,

“BOEM’s combined announcement solidifies two new regional markets for floating...

New Jersey offshore wind gets back on track

Back in October last year, New Jersey’s plans for offshore wind development took a hit when Ørsted announced that it would cease development of the Ocean Wind 1 and Ocean Wind 2 projects. Ocean Wind 1 had been set to become New Jersey’s first offshore wind farm. Yesterday, though, New Jersey offshore wind aims got back on track.

Today, NJBPU awarded a combined 3,742 MW of offshore wind capacity to Invenergy and energyRE’s Leading Light Wind and Attentive Energy LLC’s Attentive Project Two,...
