In total, it will be able to transport about 3,000 megawatts (MW) of wind power along the route, with the wind farm producing up to 3,515 MW. Pattern estimated the project would be in service by 2026.
In addition to the large onshore wind resources, the U.S. has large offshore wind power potential, [50] with another NREL report released in September 2010 showing that the U.S. has 4,150 GW of potential offshore wind power nameplate capacity, an amount 4 times that of the country's 2008 installed capacity from all sources, of 1,010 GW.
