Ocean City is not giving up its fight against a proposed offshore wind energy farm seeking state permission to run an underground transmission line through town to connect with the land-based power grid, Mayor Jay Gillian told local residents Saturday.
“We still have a long way to go with this,” Gillian said during a discussion of the project during a public meeting organized by City Council President Bob Barr for residents of his Fourth Ward district.
Barr said he is beginning to sense that the project’s developer, the Danish energy company Orsted, may be growing concerned about the money it will ultimately have to spend to build the wind farm.
