The U.S. wants to develop seven offshore wind farms to deploy renewable energy off the East and West Coasts, as well as in the Gulf of Mexico.
The Biden administration announced plans to develop seven major offshore wind farms on the East and West coasts and in the Gulf of Mexico by 2030.aims to have the wind farms deploy 30 gigawatts of offshore wind energy by 2030 as part of an energy plan. The farms would generate enough electricity to power more than 10 million homes.
On the West Coast, the department will spend $2 million on visual surveys and acoustic monitoring of marine mammals and seabirds. "The Interior Department is laying out an ambitious road map as we advance the administration's plans to confront climate change, create good-paying jobs and accelerate the nation's transition to a cleaner energy future," Haaland said."We have big goals to achieve a clean energy economy and Interior is meeting the moment."
Haaland and Amanda Lefton, director of the department's Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, said officials hope to reduce potential conflicts with fishing groups and other ocean users as much as possible."This means we will engage early and often with all stakeholders prior to identifying any new wind energy areas," Lefton said in a statement.
