BOEM Suspends Meeting on Offshore Wind

February 6, 2025--Written by Daniel Graeber for Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Citing an executive order on offshore wind, and following program commitments from Dominion Energy Incorporated (NYSE:D) (Richmond, Virginia) for a project offshore Virginia, the federal U.S. government cancelled a meeting on a windfarm slated for the waters off New York. The Vineyard Mid-Atlantic was one of the six programs outlined in a wind lease for the New York Bight. It would call for as many as 117 wind turbines for a total installed capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW), enough to meet the energy demand of more than 700,000 homes.
