US government sets sight on Great Lakes for offshore wind
06/30/2023
While efforts to expand offshore wind in the U.S. are currently focused primarily on the coastal regions of the Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf of Mexico, another body of water is once again coming into focus: the five Great Lakes on the border between Canada and the U.S. hold enormous potential. It is not the first time that offshore wind turbines are to be installed there.
Not an insignificant source of clean power, which is why the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Wind Energy Technologies has now funded research by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).
