Approve Offshore Wind In Maryland

Maryland has an opportunity to become an East Coast hub for clean, renewable energy that will provide thousands of family-sustaining jobs with offshore wind power.

In May 2017, Maryland's Public Service Commission approved applications for offshore wind projects in the Atlantic Ocean that will produce a combined 368 megawatts of electricity for MD residents. The federal Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) needs to issue final permits so these two offshore wind projects can move forward.

Tell BOEM to bring the building blocks of a clean energy economy to Maryland!

Dear Office of Renewable Energy, Bureau of Ocean Energy Management:

I support both proposed offshore wind farms in Maryland at their current distance from shore. In 2017, Maryland took a huge step toward becoming the East Coast hub for offshore wind. Our state’s Public Service Commission approved applications for two large wind farms off our coast, promising thousands of jobs and enough energy to power over 500,000 homes.

Offshore wind will pave the path for Maryland to lead the nation toward a clean energy economy that combats climate change, improves public health, and creates family-sustaining jobs in manufacturing industries lost to de-industrialization. Requiring turbines to be built any further from the shore is unnecessary and would make it impossible to bring this clean energy future to Maryland.

Please stand with Marylanders and approve the two offshore wind farms.

Sincerely,
