The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) is pleased to announce the availability of two new studies on offshore wind energy in the Gulf of Mexico. The US Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science, Applied Research Associates, Inc, and CSS, Inc. collaborated on these studies, funded through an interagency agreement between NREL and BOEM.
A centerpiece of the region’s blue economy, Ørsted and Eversource’s Revolution Wind is directly creating roughly 1,200 jobs across Rhode Island and Connecticut and accelerating the states’ clean energy sectors with significant investments in workforce development, union partnerships, shipbuilding, and port infrastructure.
Orbital Marine Power (Orbital), the renewable energy company focused on the commercial deployment of its innovative floating tidal turbine technology, has selected Global Energy Group as preferred supplier to lead the manufacture and assembly of turbines for the company’s initial Orkney projects which have secured contracts under the UK Government’s Contract for Difference auction rounds four and five.
