“This marks the culmination of years of comprehensive environmental analysis on US Wind’s proposed projects,” said Jeff Grybowski, US Wind CEO. “BOEM’s Record of Decision brings us another step closer to securing final approvals later this year and getting steel in the water. We’re eager to advance Maryland’s offshore wind goals and support good jobs in the region for decades to come.”
US Wind’s COP considers the full build-out of the federal lease area, which has the potential to generate up to 2 GW of offshore wind power. BOEM’s Record of Decision brings the two-year National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process to a close and sets US Wind on a path to securing all remaining federal permits by the end of 2024.
