Abstract
US Wind is developing the Maryland Offshore Wind Project1 (the Project), an offshore wind project of up to 2 gigawatts of generating capacity within OCS-A 0490 (the Lease), an area off the coast of Maryland on the Outer Continental Shelf. US Wind obtained the Lease in 2014 when the company won an auction for two leases from the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) which in 2018 were combined into the Lease. The Project will include as many as 121 wind turbine generators (WTG), up to four (4) offshore substations (OSS), and one (1) met tower in the approximately 80,000-acre Lease area. The Project will be interconnected to the onshore electric grid by up to four new 230 kV export subsea electric transmission cables that will ultimately connect with the existing Indian River Power Station substation near Millsboro, Delaware. The Project area in this report refers to the Lease area, Offshore Export Cable Corridors, and Onshore Export Cable Corridor 1 and is referenced as such going forward.
