Type  Enterprise Geodatabase Feature Class

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

Summary

Area within the existing lease where one or more wind energy projects are being planned for development. The full extent of where development activities are likely to occur for each project. Also known as the "Project Build Area", "Wind Farm Area", and "Wind Development Area". Until construction is started, all areas are subject to change.

Description

This dataset shows areas within an existing lease where one or more wind energy projects are being planned for development. These areas were provided by the offshore wind project developers (leaseholders), at the request of the BOEM Office of Renewable Energy Programs, as part of their Construction and Operations Plan (COP.) This data is subject to change and will be updated as new publicly available information is released.
