The US Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) has released a draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the up to 2.2 GW Maryland Offshore Wind Project, located off the Delmarva Peninsula, in the US State of Maryland. The proposed project, which combines several schemes, is developed by the company US Wind, a subsidiary of Italy’s Renexia, and will have an overall capacity ranging between 1.1 GW and 2.2 GW. Once completed, the project will be able to generate enough power to supply around 770,000 US households.
US Wind is seeking approval for the construction and operation of the Maryland Offshore Wind Project, which includes three planned phases. Two of those phases, MarWin (300 MW) and Momentum Wind (800 MW), have offshore renewable energy certificates from the State of Maryland. Overall, the three phases include the installation of up to 121 turbines.
