Offshore Wind - Substations (Proposed or Installed)

Type  Enterprise Geodatabase Feature Class

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

Summary

These data represent the proposed or final location of one or more substations supporting an offshore wind farm project. Substations can be those within the offshore lease area or onshore. Proposed locations are subject to change and often represent more than one possible design option for a single project.

Description

These data contain both proposed and installed power substations. Substations can be within the offshore lease area or onshore. Offshore substations receive power from wind turbine facilities via electric cables and act as a collector to transport the electricity to the export cable and to onshore substations. Proposed project design, review, and permitting is an iterative process, so the final design and buildout of the substations is subject to change. The data may represent different alternative options to be reviewed and the final plan may 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.
