ACP Statement on Gulf of Maine Offshore Wind Leasing Process

WASHINGTON D.C., April 25, 2023 – The American Clean Power Association (ACP) issued the following statement from Josh Kaplowitz, Vice President-Offshore Wind, after the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) today published the Call for Information and Nominations for floating offshore wind projects in the Gulf of Maine: 

“Today’s action from BOEM is another step in advancing offshore wind power across the East Coast. A robust lease sale in the Gulf of Maine will position the region as a global leader in floating offshore wind manufacturing and deployment while creating good-paying American jobs. Offshore wind can be built in the Gulf of Maine in a manner that will allow this industry, commercial fishing, and ocean ecosystems to coexist and thrive.”
