Offshore Wind - Cable Interconnections (Proposed or Installed)

Tags  BOEM, Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Wind, Offshore, Facilities, Infrastructure, Renewable Energy, Cable Interconnections

Summary

The location of existing or proposed energy facilities that the power from the wind farm will inject into.

Description

These data show the locations of proposed and installed energy facilities the power from a wind farm will inject into. In most cases, the locations shown are the maximum proposed buildout within the individual design envelope of the project. In some cases, more than one proposed location is provided. If no specific configuration option is shown in the attributes, then all the locations are considered the preferred option. Regardless of which option is ultimately permitted, the placement and total number of interconnections is subject to change. These data will be updated as new publicly available information is released. Data are provided by the lessee for project planning review and permitting uses.
