Maine Offshore Wind Webinar Series
Winter/Spring 2021
Offshore wind energy in the Gulf of Maine represents an important opportunity for Maine’s energy and economic future. The State of Maine has embarked on two ambitious initiatives to advance floating offshore wind in the Gulf of Maine in a thoughtful and considered approach. The Research Array will allow Maine to conduct further research and answer critical questions about floating platforms – from fishing to environmental impacts - prior to potential commercial developments. The Maine Offshore Wind Roadmap process will take a broad, stakeholder-based, statewide perspective to chart the best path to develop Maine offshore wind responsibly and cost-effectively for the State. The roadmap will consider topics such as renewable energy market projections; economic development strategies; supply chain analyses; and fisheries and wildlife considerations.
