A whirlwind of events this spring pushed the offshore wind industry's hopes to the forefront, with the Biden administration's March 29 announcements that it would seek $3 billion in federal funding to support industry development and start as many as 10 more environmental reviews this year for East Coast projects. The administration's new goal of 30,000 megawatts of offshore generation by 2030 includes opening another 800,000 acres in the New York Bight for possible wind leases. The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) initiated an environmental review of Orsted's planned 1,100-MW Ocean Wind project off New Jersey. |
