Fishermen, environmentalists, labor unions and local residents broadly support the 132-MW South Fork Wind Project off Long Island.

The South Fork Wind Project will have negligible to moderate environmental impacts according to a draft environmental impact statement issued by BOEM.

Offshore wind growth challenges are starting to appear as several large projects move toward completion in the mid-2020s, officials said.

California’s port infrastructure will pose a key obstacle to the development of floating offshore wind projects along the state’s coastline.

Offshore wind advocates said they are confident the industry will retain its bipartisan support regardless of the results of the U.S. elections.

West Coast offshore wind developers can draw on environmental lessons from projects in the Atlantic Ocean, an AWEA panel of experts said.

A new study finds that BOEM offshore wind lease auctions could initially pump $1.7 billion into the U.S. Treasury while creating 80,000 jobs.

An early-stage proposal for offshore wind in California emerged at a state Energy Commission workshop, which also showcased powerful opposition.

Stakeholders urged BOEM to approve the 800-MW Vineyard Wind offshore wind project along with the 1-nautical-mile turbine spacing advocated by developers.

Offshore wind advocates were encouraged by BOEM’s release of its supplemental environmental impact study (SEIS) on the 800-MW Vineyard Wind project.
