Offshore Wind Energy Projects
The U.S. offshore wind project development and operational pipeline grew 53% from the previous edition of the report, reaching a potential generating capacity of 80,523 megawatts (MW).
This is due in large part to notable additions from eight proposed leasing areas in the Gulf of Maine providing 15,702 MW of pipeline growth, two proposed leasing areas in the Mid-Atlantic with 4,499 MW, and two proposed leasing areas off the coast of Oregon with 3,156 MW.
