BERLIN– As the public comment period related to offshore wind remains open this month, US Wind highlighted local turbine plans at an Ocean Pines meeting last week.
Dave Wilson, Maryland development manager for US Wind, made an informational presentation to the Ocean Pines Association’s board of directors Saturday. Wilson outlined the company’s plans and highlighted efforts being made to ensure wildlife isn’t impacted negatively by the project.
The public comment period regarding a draft environmental impact statement on the US Wind project currently being conducted by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) remains open for the next few weeks.
“You can comment until Nov 20 online,” Wilson said. “We encourage folks to do that we always want to learn how to make the project better.”
As the wind energy project planned off the coast of Ocean City moves closer to construction, Wilson approached the board last Saturday to provide an overview of the project. While there are currently only seven turbines in the water off the entire East Coast, 15 projects are in the permitting phase, according to Wilson. The Biden administration has a goal of deploying 30,000 megawatts of offshore wind by 2030.
