The Binden Administration annouced, on Friday, that it would hold a Wind Energy Auction for Two areas off the coast of North and South Carolina in May as part of its plan to ramp up a nascent Clean Energy industry.
The move is the latest in a broad Government effort to put Wind Turbines in Federal Waters along every U.S. Coastline, with a goal of generating 30 gigawatts of Power from Offshore Wind by 2030.
President Biden has said the New industry will serve to create Good Paying Jobs and combat Climate Change.
On the heels of a Record Offshore sale in New York, which drew a Record $4.37 billion in High Bids, the Interior Department's Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), will offer Two areas covering 110,091 acres that could generate as much as 1.3 gigawatts of Offshore Wind Energy, enough to Power 500,000 Homes.
Offshore Wind Power in the U.S. has lagged European Nations in deploying the Technology. Currently, the U.S. has just Two small Offshore Wind Facilities, off the Coast of Rhode Island and Virgina, along with Two additional Commercial scale Projects recently Approved for development.
