Interior Secretary Deb Haaland announced that her agency will formally begin the process of identifying federal waters to lease to wind developers by 2025.
Everything’s coming up floating wind turbines. On Tuesday, the Biden administration announced plans to open up the waters off California to wind energy, signalling that the new technology is going to emerge.
(OWC), a group of wind industry leaders, applauded an announcement by the Biden Administration today that the Departments of Interior and Defense have reached agreement on California sea-space and other issues, clearing the way to move ahead with responsible development of the Golden State s multi-gigawatt (GW) offshore wind power potential on its Central and North coasts. This is the breakthrough California s offshore wind industry and workers have been looking for, said Adam Stern, Executive Director, OWC, a trade group of offshore wind developers and technology firms. We look forward to partnering with federal and state agencies to map out a path to achieve a minimum of 10 GW of clean, offshore wind power for Golden State residents and workers by 2040. An interim goal of 3 GW by 2030 will contribute to President Biden s national goal of 30 GW by the end of this decade from both the East and West coasts. We commend the Departments of Interior and Defense, with support
