The U.S. continues to push forward for the development of its offshore wind energy industry with steps for the next lease auction and moving toward approval of another project while at the same time, efforts are being accelerated to identify more opportunities for offshore wind farms in Maryland and the Central Atlantic region.
The Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Ocean Energy Management released details for the next proposed offshore lease auction which is likely to proceed in 2024. They are starting a public comment period for a proposed auction that would offer two parcels in the Central Atlantic. The two areas include one approximately 26 nautical miles from the Delaware Bay that would serve Maryland and Delaware potentially. The second is 35 nautical miles from the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay to serve Virginia. More here.
