OCEANTIC NETWORK WELCOMES FEDERAL/STATE COMMITMENT ON MARYLAND OFFSHORE WIND
TARGET

11 Dec 2023



The Oceantic Network, the leading organization working to advance offshore wind
and other ocean renewable industries and their supply chains, welcomes the
announcement from the Biden-Harris administration, Maryland Governor Wes Moore,
and the state’s federal delegation to identify new wind energy areas sufficient
for Maryland to achieve its 8.5 GW offshore wind goal. The Biden-Harris
administration released news of the commitment along with a Central Atlantic
Proposed Sale Notice (PSN) for nearly 278,000 acres, enough to power 2.2 million
homes, to occur in mid-2024. While furthering the industry, the proposed sale
would be insufficient to meet Maryland and North Carolina’s offshore wind goals
individually and collectively and would leave little room for states like
Delaware to enter the offshore wind industry. The agreement between the
Biden-Harris administration and Governor Moore seeks to identify new areas for a
2025 auction geared towards meeting Maryland’s goals.       

The following statement can be attributed to Liz Burdock, founder and CEO of
Oceantic Network:  

“The Oceantic Network welcomes BOEM’s announcement of more than 275,000 acres
for lease in the Central Atlantic and applauds the commitment from the
Biden-Harris administration, Governor Moore, and our federal partners to quickly
identify new shallow-water wind energy areas for auction as soon as 2025. These
actions will ensure that Maryland can meet its clean energy and economic
development goals.  

“Central Atlantic states are depending on offshore wind as the cornerstone of
their clean energy futures and created policies to position the region as an
industry manufacturing and logistics hub. The Federal region is just as
dependent on a revived steel industry in Baltimore and thriving Hampton Roads
area to anchor a domestic supply chain and meet national goals.  

“As the current acreage identified does not yet meet those goals, it is
imperative that our federal and state governments lay out a clear pathway to
achieving state commitments. The Central Atlantic is home to many ocean users
with complex needs, and we are thankful for the advocacy from our federal and
state partners who are working hard to advance our industry. The Network looks
forward to next year’s Central Atlantic auction and remains steadfast in our
commitment to realizing the full economic potential the central Atlantic offers
the offshore wind industry.”
