Average wind speed at 90 meters along the coast of Maine. Offshore wind energy represents Maine's largest untapped natural energy resource, rated at 156 GW. [45] The University of Maine Advanced Structures and Composites Center has led efforts to develop this resource with its patented floating wind turbine technology, VolturnUS.
The following table lists offshore wind farm areas (by nameplate capacity) that are in various states development for the Outer Continental Shelf in U.S. territorial waters of the East Coast of the United States, [31] where a Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) wind energy area lease has been secured [32] [33] and have gained at least some ...
A study done from 2014 in Michigan analyzing the effects of offshore wind farms on the Great Lakes has shown improvement to air quality. [49] Results from this study indicated a decrease in all common air pollutants as a result of the development of offshore wind energy, as well as a projected 25% decrease in CO2 emissions by 2050.
