New report assesses floating offshore wind development on the USA's west coast
- Details
- Category: Industry News
The report, Offshore Renewable Energy Development on the West Coast: Understanding Effects on Shipping, Fisheries, and Maritime Activities, by the National Academies of Sciences Engineering and Medicine examines the implications of offshore renewable energy development along the US West Coast, with a focus on floating offshore wind. The study finds that the region is well suited to floating offshore wind due to deep coastal waters, making fixed-bottom turbines largely unsuitable. Lease areas awarded by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management off California could support several GW of capacity, with projects located 20 to 50 nautical miles offshore.
