  • Deepwater Wind Plans Offshore Wind Farm to Serve Maryland
    Deepwater Wind Plans Offshore Wind Farm to Serve Maryland Skipjack Wind Farm Will Deliver Affordable Offshore Wind Energy Far Below State Estimates, Saving Ratepayers Millions of Dollars Ocean City, Md. – November 22, 2016 – America’s leading offshore wind company Deepwater Wind today announced plans for the Skipjack Wind Farm, a new offshore wind farm that will help Maryland meet its clean- energy goals at far lower prices than state law anticipates, saving Maryland ratepayers millions of dollars. The Skipjack Wind Farm will not only be the state’s largest renewable energy project, it would also be the right size for Maryland’s first offshore wind farm. At 120 megawatts, the Skipjack Wind Farm could be built in a single construction season, and developed more cost-effectively, and with considerably less risk, than a larger project. At more than 17 nautical miles northeast of Ocean City’s coastline, the project would be located so far away that it won’t impact views from Maryland’s shore. Deepwater Wind has secured the rights to acquire the site’s federal lease, subject to regulatory approval. “We’re bringing down the cost of American offshore wind energy in a big way,” said Deepwater Wind CEO Jeffrey Grybowski. “Ratepayers in Maryland will benefit from energy that is both clean and affordable. The Skipjack Wind Farm is the right clean energy solution for Maryland, and we’re ready to get to work.” The Skipjack Wind Farm is expected to generate well over $100 million dollars in economic benefits for Maryland. Deepwater Wind will make significant investments in the state of Maryland and employ hundreds of local workers during the project’s construction.

  • Transitioning to Renewable Energy 2020 the Growth of Offshore Wind Power
    Transitioning to Renewable Energy 2020 The Growth of Offshore Wind Power Transition Long Island is on the front lines of climate change. Rising sea levels, extreme weather events, ocean acidification, and the loss of fisheries poses a real Renewable Energy and immediate threat to our environment, coastal communities, local economy, and quality of life. Increased renewable energy production, along with efficiency measures, helps to speed our island’s transition away from fossil fuels. As Long Island moves forward with renewable energy projects, offshore wind will play an integral role in meeting the state’s goals of 70% renewable energy by 2030 and 100% carbon-free electrical generation by 2040. We cannot achieve our renewable energy goals without offshore wind, which is why the state has mandated 9,000 MW (megawatts) of offshore wind by 2035. Some of the strongest and most consistent winds in the country are off of our coasts, and a series of offshore wind farms are slated to make New Fossil Fuel York a national leader in offshore wind over the coming decade. Growth The world’s first offshore wind farm began operating in Denmark in 1991, and over the last three decades, offshore wind development has grown throughout Europe and Asia. Countries including Belgium, China, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and the United Kingdom have embraced offshore wind power, but there is still room for growth. As of 2019, European offshore wind farms generate nearly 205,000 MW of renewable energy,1 or approximately 14% of the EU’s power. The world’s largest offshore wind farm, being constructed 75 miles off of England’s Yorkshire Coast, will power over one million homes.2 Globally, we have offshore wind potential to meet the world’s energy needs 18 times over and support 3 a trillion dollar wind industry.
