The proposal would auction off almost 375,000 acres of the Outer Continental Shelf offshore California for wind energy development.
Key Points:
..The two areas proposed for leasing have the potential to provide more than 4.5 gigawatts of energy, which could power more than 1.5 million homes.
..Offshore wind development in federal waters off the California coast will be critical to meeting the Biden-Harris Administration’s goal of deploying 30 gigawatts of offshore wind energy by 2030.
..Comments on the proposal and qualification materials are due by August 1, 2022.
