The Biden administration approved an offshore wind project off the coast of Maryland on Thursday, marking the 10th commercial-scale project and half of the capacity needed to achieve the president’s goal of 30 gigawatts of offshore wind energy by 2030.
Zero projects were approved at the beginning of President Joe Biden’s term, according to administration officials. The latest project, Maryland’s offshore wind project, would generate over 2 gigawatts of renewable energy for the Delmarva Peninsula and power over 718,000 homes. The project, located off the coast of Sussex County, could support over 2,600 jobs annually over six years.
