In support of the Biden–Harris administration’s goal of deploying 30 gigawatts of offshore wind energy capacity by 2030, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) today announced the availability of its final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for a proposed wind project offshore Maryland. BOEM has now completed environmental reviews for … [continued]
A new report finds renewable energy can provide up to 30% of total electricity supply in PJM Interconnection by 2026 without cost or reliability concerns.
The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management has announced it will hold America’s third competitive offshore wind lease auction for 80,000 acres off Maryland’s coast.
American offshore wind took another major step forward yesterday with the second-ever competitive lease sale to develop renewable energy in federal waters.
A subsidiary of Dominion Virginia Power won the Interior Department’s auction to develop 112,800 acres about 23 miles from Virginia Beach with a bid of $1.6 billion.
Deepwater Wind has won the Interior Department’s first-ever competitive offshore wind lease auction, totaling 164,750 acres near Rhode Island and Massachusetts.
Deepwater’s $3.8 million bid wins it the right to build the Deepwater Wind Energy Center, a 1,000MW utility-scale wind farm with 200 turbines and a regional transmission system linking to New York State and southeastern New England.
If Governor Martin O’Malley gets his way, Maryland may soon lead America in the fight against climate change and transition toward a clean energy future.
Today, O’Malley announced an aggressive plan to cut greenhouse gas emissions 25% and boost renewable energy 25% by 2020 – both up from current 20% targets.
Maryland’s state legislature has passed Governor O’Malley’s signature clean energy initiative to install 200MW of offshore wind capacity and kickstart the state’s clean energy industry.
Offshore wind power has soooo much potential in the U.S., but we can’t seem to get a single project up in the water. Cape Wind proponents continue to struggle for its long-awaited birth, nearly one year after we thought it was finally set to rock and roll. Well, now, down … [continued]
