Offshore Wind - Interarray Cables (Proposed or Installed)

Tags  BOEM, Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Wind, Offshore, Facilities, Infrastructure, Renewable Energy, Inter-array Cables

Summary

Proposed and installed inter-array cables for offshore wind projects. These are the linkages and routes of the cables connected between wind turbines and/or substation(s) within an offshore wind power facility.

Description

These data represent the currently proposed cable linkages between proposed or installed wind turbines and/or proposed offshore substation(s). In some cases, more than one proposed layout 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 cable arrays will likely vary from what is presented here. 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.
