Offshore Wind by the numbers

What is happening? The Biden administration intends to shore up offshore wind because offshore wind will:

• By 2030, offshore wind will be at 30 GW
• 55% reduction in offshore wind costs by 2030
  • to 5.4 cents per kilowatt hour from about 11.5 cents per kilowatt hour
• By 2030, 10 million homes could be powered for a year

Why is this important? This May, the Bureau of Offshore Wind Energy approved 62 turbines 15 miles off the southern coast of Cape Cod, Mass.

How will this be important? The opposition is the seafood industry which signed a letter opposing the project in Massachusetts
