Why Offshore Wind?

Offshore wind is a growing source of renewable power in the United States, with four projects currently operating, four under construction, and dozens more planned. With demand for energy increasing, offshore wind power can diversify the domestic electric power supply, promote domestic jobs and manufacturing, and benefit coastal communities.

The United States has the technical potential to generate over 4,000 gigawatts of power from offshore wind, or over three times the generating capacity of every power plant in the United States combined. Our Interactive Map tracks every project under development. Scroll down to learn more.
