After successful lease auctions for offshore wind development in New England and Virginia, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) is setting sail for a new location in the race to develop America’s wind potential – Maryland.

BOEM officially announced the offshore wind lease auction Wednesday in the Federal Register.  As in previous lease auctions, prospective developers now have a 60-day public comment period in which to signal their interest and submit proposals for review.

If all goes according to plan, America could hold its third lease auction as soon as this Spring, and continue its full-speed effort to join the international race to develop offshore wind resources.
